watercolor for a friend

Last week today was my dear friend Alyssa’s birthday.(I am behind on some posts of daily events while getting caught up from vacation!) We celebrated, as you may have read in one of Anja’s posts, with a hot dog roast and viking boats down at the lake. We have had many hours of fun and making memories down at the lake at Alyssa’s – we are so grateful for her and her family’s hospitality with their lake-front access. My gift to her was a watercolor painting depicting their dock and the old, ailing, but much-beloved boat that has given us hours of tubing and skiing fun, fondly referred to as “The Junk of the Lake”. She loved it.
