We spent a long weekend at Mason Lake, catching up on reading and perfecting the fine art of doing nothing. Mary beat me at Spite and Malice (a good card game). We watched a DVD or two. And I wrote a couple chapters in the novel I'm working on.
The weather wasn't all it could have been for the last weekend of July and the first weekend of August, but even with some cloudy skies, the lake isn't a bad place to while away the time.
After that we met up with my friend Deborah from The Netherlands in Seattle for lunch and then spent some time in Ballard and Belltown before heading south again.
