Our friends invited us to their lake house for the weekend. It was amazing. Great weather. Great company. Great food. We ate, slept, lazed, went in the water, and totally unplugged from our city life.

Drex tried windsurfing without the sail. His triumph didn’t last long.

The lake was a magnet and Sonya was drawn to it. She even fell off the board, bobbed up gasping for air, in shock, screaming, but in less than thirty seconds, she proudly called herself a “fishie fish” who had gone under the water! She’s a brave one. She even swam out with Drex to hug a buoy.

I limited my lake activities to the rowboat. One time. The water was too cold for my ankles. But I enjoyed watching everyone else in the water from my lawn chair with a glass of red wine.
