252/366 | Green Tea
I have read very good health benefits about Green Tea, I have a lot of Green Tea leaves at home that I need to consume, and I have a tea pot that I want to use more often. Why is it, then, that this doesn’t happen very often?

It’s Friday! Celebrating with rum and OJ… and testing out the noise-reduction features on Photoshop…

209/366 | Retreat Weekend
The word “retreat” sounds kind of old-fashioned but it conveys the sense of being pampered. This is an annual event where my work place takes its employees and their family members to a weekend getaway in New Hampshire. Total number of people is over 3000, and we occupy 4 or 5 resorts there for the weekend.

A penguin and my Shiba Inu. The wooden penguin is a one of the Xmas gifts from P. Isn’t it cool?

186/366 | It’s raining fireworks
Right on cue, it started pouring when the July 4th fireworks began drawing colorful circles on the dark sky. We had some obnoxiously loud teenagers around us up until then, but the rain washed them away along with all the other wussy people (to somewhere under the roof). We got to enjoy the fireworks with ample space and peace, while being drenched.

Er yeah, so I didn’t take any photos today other than those of my dog. I wish I did because it was quite a day!

176/366 | Day 2
It was a gorgeous day. The temperature went up to about 80F. And it was bright and sunny all day. After breakfast and a quick swim, we (6 of us + the dog) took our canoes and explored the big lake. Most pretty shore lines and islands are private properties, unfortunately. We could not just dock anywhere. I have heard that owners would come running out and yell. Ha! It’s a very Libertarian state. We don’t want to get on the wrong side of them….

175/366 | On Golden Pond
So we are on Squam Lake for two nights, three days. Our camp site is on a little island called Bowman. There are 4 camp sites on it, and that’s all there are. We load everything onto a canoe from the parking lot, and row for about an hour, to get to the island. There is a toilet, and logs are provided. That is it. No electricity. Now water source.

170/366 | Jealous
The new Macbook Pro arrived today. It’s not mine. It’s P’s. My Macbook is still relatively new and good. It works very well with my Apple Cinema display. I’m not jealous of his Retina display because my iPad and iPhone both have retina displays.
I’m not jealous.

169/366 | It’s not a toy
While walking on the nature trail at the fells, the pup had a great time chasing after frogs. It’s rained and I guess they are out and about. We saw frogs of different colors and different sizes.

P makes margaritas on Friday evenings. I like it.
