If you live in this part of Indiana you know that the great summer tradition of "going to the lake" can refer to any one of a hundred or more lakes, of all shapes and sizes, in northern Indiana (or southern Michigan). Today I went to "the lake" with a friend. You can go to "the lake" on Thursday when you're retired. As it happened the particular lake we went to today was Lake Wawasee near Syracuse, Indiana. I'm happy to report that it was a perfect lake day. The lake was a little choppy making the obligatory speed boat ride lots of fun. My friend's grandkids were quite entertaining, especially the youngest who loves dinosaurs. And the dinner served up by our hosts was everything a lake dinner could possibly be, including perfectly grilled steak, corn on the cob, baked potato, two kinds of salads, two kinds of pie, coffee, wine, fudge and great conversation. All in all, a deliciously delightful visit. I'm beginning to understand why people go to "the lake" so often.
