Yes, we know that this is not the official Autumnal Equinox, 2006. However, our party leader is not available for Friday night at 11:03 p.m. and we would rather get up early to watch a sunrise than stay up late to sit in the dark. (Besides we are always a little bit "ahead of the curve" on most things that we do!). Emily suggested that we call it "Equinox--the Prequel."
We knew it was going to be a beautiful morning as we headed off to the east and we were not disappointed--it was a spectacular morning at Fisherman's Point. We arrived around 6:30 a.m. to a most gorgeous sunrise over the fog on the lake. It was about 30 degrees, but there was no wind so it was great!
This is the scene that greeted us. The official sunrise was somewhere around 6:58 a.m. so we had a lot to do before that time.
Former flight attendant, Laurie, gets the mimosas ready so that we will be ready to toast the sunrise.
Here it comes!
The mimosas await!
Our toast to everyone--a long autumn, a short and mild winter, and great and long-lasting friendships!L to R: Pat, Emily, Nancy, Laurie, Joan, Jodie, Tee, Naomi, Helen S., Elsie, Helen J.
Toasty warm: Elsie, Helen S. and Helen J.
We had a great breakfast--two hot egg dishes, scones, blueberry muffins, coffee cake, lots of fruit and plenty of coffee. Nancy even brought "healthy" pretzels for us to sample! L to R: Pat, Elsie, Helen S., Joan, Helen J. and Laurie.
Emily, Tee, Naomi and Nancy. As we always say, "A great time was had by all!"
