The Cure-All

...for weeks such as this? A day at the lake. I was tired of feeling beaten up AND down at the same time. It takes a special kind of talent to experience both at once. :) My friend Ronda asked if I was busy this weekend. Amazingly enough, the answer was no, so she invited me to visit her at the lake.

OKAY!!!!

I'm fond of lakes in a sit-and-look-at-them sort of way. But to voluntarily crawl in fish-hooey infested waters and watch seaweed drape across my arm...it's not really my thing. But Ronda talked me into it! Take a good look. This is me IN a lake. Not AT a lake. IN a lake. And this is Ronda, who cheered me so.

Ronda was dog sitting for her daughter, so this is my new friend, Addie. I'd tell you her breed but I don't remember. I'd never heard of it before. She was beyond energetic, but she was cute! She does not like water, so we put her on this raft. She didn't like it either.

Ronda braved getting the boat out by herself and did a FABULOUS job. This is the view of the great big houses....from the swimming hole.

I could take those, you see, because I was not IN the swimming hole. I was being conscious of my straight hair, so I stayed in the boat. LOL. Ronda said I was being a diva. YEP!!!! Addie and I hung out in the boat.

After a while, she did get brave and managed to peek over the side of the boat.

So that's a tour of the day at the lake. It was complete with grilled sausage and corn on the cob and pasta salad...mmmmmm. And of course, a sunburn. I'm going to look SO CUTE tomorrow.

OH! And I just wanted to take a moment to say that I did successfully help get the boat back in the lift and up out of the water. I think the fisherman behind me got quite an entertaining view during that adventure.
