The boys....1st motor boat ride for my son!  HE WAS LOVING 
IT!



The horse farm from the water...




Working dairy farm...so cool!


The gals and I were dropped back off to swim while the "men" went for a 
speedy ride! 



Afterwards we packed it up and went back to
the main house....



Some antiques from their home...soooo lovely...



Sammie was asleep from the time we got into
the truck from the docks until we got to 
the main house...then slept there...then back
to the truck and slept all the way home...


Beautiful fireplace anchored the family room...full of light
and love!



Lots of books..

Duck Harbor is a really wonderful place! I live in the private community owned by Joe & Nancy Harcum. My family and I have a ton of fun going out on the lake and exploring! I board my horse at the farm and am just a quick 4-wheel ride away. There's lot of land still available in The Woods at Duck Harbor as well, if anyone wants their own piece of paradise.

I'm glad you had such a great time! The area truly is beautiful and your amazing pictures caught everything absolutely perfectly. (:

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
