This is the lake house where i have been spending most of my summer. I have been going here on the week days and been in new york on weekends. i have also been going to my friend tanya's country house. this is a beautiful house. a friend of my father owns it and we are doing this trade off (they stay in new york on the week day). personally i think we got the better side of the deal. it is a beautiful lake in connecticut. there is a sail boat i have been using a lot. the wind here is good and its very fun to go speeding across the lake. you can actually see the faint line of the mast down by the lake next to the umbrella. in the picture the sail is lowered. we have a badminton net and very competitive games go one there...haha. i have brought my guitar and an starting to play again. i miss you all and hope your summers are going well. love sophie
