I love weekends. This was the sunrise outside my front door this Saturday morning.

New dawn.
I woke up this morning extra early – given the time change yesterday. This was the glorious sunrise sky that lay right out side the front door. I was prompted to go out and take a look when i noticed that the light coming in through the windows was making the entire inside of the house glow pink.
And, what is that sparkle on the horizon? Could it be something new coming my way….?
Good morning.
We headed to the lake yesterday around noon. We have a long list of chores and minor repairs to take care of on the boat, and we schlepped a bunch of tools and supplies out to take care of some of them. Rain was in the forecast, so not a lot of people were out and about.
About 5 o’clock we called it a day and headed out of the slip to anchor out overnight in Arkansas Bend cove. Lori, Dave and Jake joined us on Camelot. We had a very pleasant night but boy did we get rained on. We hunkered down below on one of the boats and played cards until it let up. After the rains blew through it was quite nice. Good breezes through the boat kept us cool.
This morning when I went up into the cockpit this was the view that greeted me. A beautiful Lake Travis sunrise. A good morning, indeed.
Good morning.
I have been coming to Raleigh on business for many years. I’m staying in the same hotel that I usually do, right around the corner from the office. In all that time this hotel property has changed ownership at least 3 times. This time it’s a newly refurbished Hilton Garden Inn. It has that “new hotel” smell, even though it’s the same old building. They are doing their best to offer perks to make the stay more pleasant… a brand new hairdryer to replace the one that died on me yesterday…warm cookies in the lobby…a little store downstairs where you can buy drinks and snacks… a lovely breakfast buffet….and a great view of this morning’s sunrise from my room. 🙂
Riff-Rafft-up.
We spent the night in Arky South cove. We enjoyed more laughs, music and good company last night. Mike and Kathy joined us on Soul Healer yesterday for a few hours, and Lori, Dave and Jake joined us this afternoon on Camelot.
Shortly after we woke up this morning, we were treated to a beautiful sunrise, coming up right behind the Commander’s Point lighthouse (well, water tower really). A lovely sight.
Then, later in the morning a funky fog bank sunk over the lake for a while, but shortly lifted for a beautiful, sunny day.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention… we have christened this and any future such auspicious gathering a Riff-Rafft-up. For obvious reasons 🙂 In attendance this weekend were Wally & Kurt on Dancer, Joe on Prelude, Monte & Sheila on Cupholder, and Marty & Sue (and Koko) on Caribbean Hug.
Have a great week!

This morning I had an insanely early call with some colleagues in India, which I needed to head to the office for. I could see that the sunrise was going to be beautiful, but I didn’t have a direct view of it due to the buildings. Catching its reflection in the windows on the building across the way were as close as I got.
I wish I had been able to spend a bit more time taking this shot but I was in a hurry. It’s a tad blurry and the reflection on the right side of the pic is distracting, but it’s the Friday morning moment that I’m sharing for today.
TGIF!
