What a great day today!

This morning, everyone did their own breakfasts and enjoyed The Lake.

I drove KS and P up to Hale, making multiple stops while in town, the last of which was the Fish store. P found me a pair of flip-flops, and herself a smallish watering can--maybe 1 quart?-for her houseplants.

The youngers--F, T, and T went over to Iargo Springs and Lumberman's Monument. T&KS had lunch, got their things together, and left. It wasn't too much longer and the youngers were back. They had food, then went over to help the neighbors move some stuff.

When they got back, we got the speedboat out, and all 3 rode the Twister; Travis being a repeat rider getting about 30 revolutions, and Trisha being a new rider, getting about 7 revs. They were both grinning.

Trisha tried to water ski, too. She got up with only a couple tries, but the 3rd time turned out to be the last, as the handle on the tow rope broke.

They all left to go into Hale to go to the Iosco County Fair. I stayed home, picking up, enjoying the quiet, watching it get dark from the bug-free zone. I thought they might like to sit out at the fire when they got back, so I enjoyed starting the fire, too.

And they did sit out there for a while.

It's a beautiful night; low 60's, quiet. We heard the loons calling while sitting in the dark at the fire.

Is there anything better??

Thank you, God.

And thank you for reading. Hugs.
