The house cleaner is due today, so we spent the morning getting our personal things stowed away and the house ready for her to clean. The house is actually pretty clean, except the floors. She arrived at 1:30, just as we were leaving to visit the nearby lake. We gave her the keys and headed out, leaving her in peace to clean.
We easily found the lake and we were hoping for paddle boats or fishing poles or something, but it was just a nice, grassy hill leading down to the lake. There was a good, shallow area for little kids to play in the water. We hunted around for some shade and put out our towels and the kids went into the water for a swim.
GG had fun people watching and grandpa went around and took photos. At about 3pm it began to get very busy with lots of people marching into the grass looking for some shade to set up their place.
We left about 3:30 and stopped at the grocery store before returning home. We got there just as the house cleaner was leaving so we got the keys and settled into our home while the thunder and lightening roared.
Later that afternoon GG and Grandpa and Ryan and Brendan went to the Lyon airport to pick up Montse, a good friend from Spain. Isabella and Bryce stayed home.
GG found Montse with no problem and we came back to the house for chicken dinner and ice cream for dessert before we headed off for bed for the night.
The lake looks like a lot of fun. Good thing you arrived early. Marilyn and I went and saw new movie called "The Hundred Foot Journey" yesterday. Its set in a small French town about a lady with a very successful French restaurant and a family from India move accross the street and open an Indian restaurant. Its actually very good. Helen Midden is the actress didn't know the others. But great scenery in the French countryside and lots of cooking. I think Geralynn would enjoy.
