I went to the lake today with friends. Anyone who lives in Fort Wayne knows that many, many people in this area go to the lake in the summer and that "the lake" can refer to any of a hundred plus lakes in northern Indiana and southern Michigan. In this case the lake was Marble Lake near Quincy, Michigan. I'm not familiar with much of Michigan but I knew where Quincy is because my daughter and I bought her wedding dress and my mother of the bride dress at a well known bridal shop there named Patty's. That was 23 years ago. As we drove through Quincy to go to lunch, I was pleased to see that the shop is still there. In addition to lunch at a good local restaurant, we enjoyed a boat ride on the lake (it was chilly but very nice), lots of fun conversation, delicious snacks, and some rousing games of '500,' a card game I had not played before. I lost spectacularly but that was ok. It was a lovely day at the lake, a real mini vacation.
