Fourth of July

I hope each of you had a great Fourth of July. What did you do?

Claudia and I spent Friday night at Lee Ann's lake house. Then we did one of our favorite things, which is kayaking White Oak Creek. It was a great day weather wise. The water as always was crystal clear and we had a lot of fun paddling the Creek and seeing the wildlife and all the 4th of July campers. Later, while I read a book at the house Lee Ann and Claudia went to the lake. When I got down to the lake I discovered that they had decided to swim along the bank of the lake for about a mile to another boat dock. When I got there I could not find them. As I scanned the horizon I saw two what appeared to be logs over by another boat house. As I watched over time the logs would morph and grow in size. Then I realized as I saw the logs doing water ballet in the lake it must be the girls. The returned in a joyful and tired mood. They had taken their lifejackets so they could float when needed. As always life at the lake was a very relaxing and reinvigorating time.

  1. John, I always love it when you are at the lake. Thanks for moving all those stones and cutting away the fallen tree. You show us all how to help each other and then...relax. I wish I had taken a picture of you asleep in the porch swing with your headphones in.

  2. Thank you for not doing that. I only hope I was not snoring. I really did enjoy sitting in the swing.
