I wanted to play with the beautiful colors of the Playdate Cafe challenge. Don't you just love them!?
Here's what I came up with:
A simple design, highlighting these soft shades. These are the kinds of colors I miss when the long months of winter arrive!
We had such a fun night out on my sister's boat last night, so I thought I'd share a couple of photos. The weather was so perfect! A bit windy, so only got one good photo of my siblings (others are a bit blurry.) Here are two of my sisters, Mary on the left and Laurie on the right.
This is the boat. It is quite large with a kitchen, dining area and sleeping area below, and two decks to relax on. So fun for a large family like ours!
Just a shot of the lake with the setting sun. Ahhhh. . .
Here's where we ate dinner. Al & Alma's. Fab food! Sorry for the blurry photo. . .and I hadn't even had a drink yet!
And here's my hubby, (don't think I've shared a recent picture of him) standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
Today is another beautiful day here. Heading outside to enjoy it soon. I'll be thinking of all the people affected by Hurricane Irene, on the East Coast. Hope those of you hunkered down will stay safe! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Oh Barb, I truly adore your sweet card, the colour are just perfect...thanks for sharing the pics of your night out on the water, wish I could have been there having a little drinky with you as I am sure the photos would even be more wonky then..LOL...but geez we would have fun! hugs sweetie!

Barb, I love your card and the perfect soft way you used the challenge colors. Perfect!
I love the pictures of your lovely evening on the boat. Ahhh! So serene! We made it through Hurricane Irene here in New Jersey, just a few power outages and lots of tree debris to clean up. The winds were the scariest part...I spent lots of time comforting my six-year-old who was afraid the power would go out and it would be dark everywhere (so much for card-making this weekend!).
Thanks for your lovely comments at my blog...we did have the best vacation ever...so far! Glad you and your boys have similar memories of fun in Disney!
Beautiful card and I really enjoyed your photos Barb - TFS! Hugs!
Fab card and fab photos of your family. Thanks for sharing.
That sunset over the lake looks amazing. Great capture. Thanks for leaving sweet comments on my blog - I really appreciate them. Just back from 3 weeks of vacation - so trying to catch up on everything! Hugs to you, Dee
Thanks for sharing the photos! Where are you?? Sounds like you had great fun with the families.
Great pictures and looks like a lot of fun! Love how you did the soft dandelions in a monochromatic effect. Beautiful!
I love these photos Barb. What a wonderful time you must have had with your sisters! Very interesting restaurant!
