Lake Days

While in MI last week, we had opportunity to laze time away, visiting family at the where they summer. Beautiful weather for lake visits. What fun, to be out on the boats, to be in the water, to soak in the sun! We kept eye off the side of the boat for fish and for turtles. We watched the kids splash and dive and dunk and play. We adults enjoyed talk and adult beverages and doing not-too-much-at-all.

It is not so easy, for a girl that grew up in the southwest, to love a lake. Not many swim-worthy lakes in the desert climes. Years ago, when I started visiting the Great Lake State, it took some getting used to, wading the shore to swim in a lake. I still like diving into the middle of a lake, from the boat, deep enough that my feet can't touch bottom, the best.

But it's always fun to be with family at "their" lake. I'm thankful for that part of life T's family has added to mine. Or I'd still be sitting poolside and never would have known all a Lake Day had to offer.
