For years, Mary Anne has been the Fan Club, standing on the dock in summer (armed with sticky buns and hot chocolate on the cooler mornings) waiting for the intrepid participants in the weekly Marathon Swim to return dockside.
Her friend Shelley has been logging endless 'virtual miles' in the lake, while swimming down 'virtual rivers' to keep her exercise program motivated (you can read about that in the July 25th, 2008 post, Marathon Swim).
But finally, Mary Anne is 'one up' on Shelley, and all the rest of her summer crowd, because this winter she walked on the water. Out over the ice. Not just to the Point, but along the shore level with the Island. And back. That's a long hike!
Of course, we gave her a certificate...
Sydney was staying in the next cottage over, and while she didn't walk to the Point, she did hike up the mountain, and she made snow angels, and produced one of the loveliest photos we've ever seen! You can just see the point beyond Sydney.
Mary Anne is out of the frame, around the corner, heading for the Island...
