The holiday fun continues. It is a great Indiana tradition to go to "the lake" during the summer. It really doesn't matter which lake. If you tell a friend you're going to the lake they may ask which lake or just assume it's somewhere north of here and wish you a good time. Today was our turn. My spouse and I went to the lake, in this case Lake Wawasee, to visit with his son and family. It was everything a day at the lake should be. We started our drive in the pouring rain but by the time we turned off Hwy 30 the rain was tapering off and just as we got to our destination the rain quit, the clouds parted and the sun came out. Just like a Disney movie. We enjoyed the requisite boat ride, fast and choppy and great fun. Then back on land, filled up on snacks and liquid refreshments of various kinds. We had plenty of time to catch up on everyone's recent activities, discuss the state of the world and politics (all very friendly) watch the littlest grand splash in the lake with friends while we talked with her older brothers about their future plans. Then dinner which consisted of everything that a lake supper should include: steaks grilled to perfection, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, rolls with butter, salad and finally lemon ice cream pie. I must get the recipe for that. Wine, or beer, followed as we moved back outside. We sat on the deck, quietly digesting, enjoying more conversation while watching the boats go by, the flags fluttering in the breeze on boats and docks, dogs and their people strolling by, and just generally reveling in what a great day it had been. Many thanks to the five of you who made it such a perfect day. You know who you are.
