Bags draped across our shoulders while the dog raced past our feet, bypassing the house to drink from cool lake water; we headed straight for the bedrooms, unloaded our bags and then shucked off clothes replaced by attire more fitting for the day: swimsuits. The psychedelic wallpaper and green shag carpet catapult visitors through a time warp back into the easygoing sixties, where moms were still housewives, dads took two consecutive weeks vacation, and life generally moved at a slower pace. Last weekend our crew had a wonderful time at the lake, Possum Kingdom. The best part of a weekender on the water is that we were able to completely clear our minds and focus simply on spending time together. No work, no stress. Our dear friends Harold and Cheryl T., who are like a bonus set of parents to Matt and I, invited us over for our annual lake trip. We cruised on the pontoon, zipped atop waves on the sea-doos, tubed, skied, and then floated. At night we played board games and ate ice cream. Ah, why can't summer last forever?
Out of all the fun we had, my most memorable moment was a conversation I had with the girls, the Maddis. Matt and I laugh at their zany antics ALL the time! They are smart girls, but WOW, they have some blond moments! Don't believe me? (Well, if you know them you believe me!) Check out this video in which they answer questions over history, geography, and current events. Get ready to laugh!
