"When you meet your friend on the roadside . . .
Let the voice within your voice speak to the ear of his ear;
For the soul will keep the truth of your heart as the taste of wine is remembered
When the colour is forgotten and the vessel is no more."

- Kahlil Gibran

Sail away, sail away, sail away . . .

While work has been busy and all-consuming at times, Peter and I have still managed to get some time away with friends and enjoy the beautiful summer we're having. Last week we enjoyed some time at the home of Joe and Jeannie Silverberg, long time Hoofer sailing folks with 50+ years of marriage behind them. They're just about he cutest "older" couple (I say "old" but Joe still bikes around town and they keep up with us "youngsters" pretty well) you'll come across and they put on their annual "Social event of the year" party for the instructors. Peter and I stole a quick photo with them before we jetted that night.
We also got some time to take our friends Matt and Alissa and one of their daughters, Tess, on a nice Friday evening sail two weeks ago. Alissa and I have gotten to be good friends and she was my sponsor when Peter and I went through RCIA and confirmation at our local parish back in the spring.

Aren't we cute? :)






Unfortunately, Tess left her hat on the boat . . . so Peter thought he might put it to good use!



Here's Peter towing our boat in to be put away as the sun sets on our evening.

Sunsets and sunrises on the lake are one of my favorite things in Madison. They always feel to me like God smiling at us and saying "Good evening" or
"Good morning." He gave us wonderful "smile" that night!
