Beautiful day with beautiful people as the Dragon Boat Festival ended on a high note. My team were ferocious in their races and I did see a bit of competitive spirit, although it's all about the fun and teamwork. The flower ceremony at noon, to honour those who have lost their battle with breast cancer, was emotional and spiritual.....all the boats congregate in the water and the sweepers (steerers) hold hands to keep the boats together while they recognize a moment of silence for their lost teammates and hear some very chilling hymns. The human pink knot was amazing and the doves released into the sky were very effective. I truly enjoyed my experience with these brave souls and learned alot about breast cancer and the support systems in place. It was a great weekend and I was privileged to be a volunteer and play a small role. If you haven't had the opportunity to watch the races or hear the story of how dragon boating became the sport of choice, please add it to your list of must-do's.

The Patio was lovely tonight - what a nice way to wrap up a busy weekend.

Monday Lakeside Luncheons continue and Father's Day is only a week away.

Don't forget the Stay 'n Play Golf Packages (from $169 per person) for those looking to getaway and stay clear of the G8 ........

Drive carefully as the turtles are crossing the roadways near the water......
