Family is in town again for yesterday, today, and parts of tomorrow. I’ve been hyping up this lake time for months and of course when this afternoon came I wasn’t really feeling it. It was fine though. After lunch they wanted to go to Hae’s for a midday pick-me-up. They had iced coffees and I had an iced green tea. In hindsight I should’ve skipped the coffee shop and stayed behind to take a half-hour nap. That works a lot better (for me).

But the energy came again. My sister really wanted to take the lilypad out to the middle of the lake with the canoe ores. So that’s what we did. We ended up mostly at the other side of lake and then made our way back. The water was the perfect temperature. My cousin’s wife lives in Florida and down there they can’t swim in any freshwater without fear of gators. I absolutely cannot imagine. That’s why so many down there have pools.

Wayne came over to ask where he was supposed to put the dirt. The spots in the basement flooded again with this most recent rain. I showed him the corner by the boys room. Then I told him there was another spot in the basement and he said he’s been there done that with parsonage basements. I don’t know what that means. The plumber guys also came and fixed some things in the shower. It made a nice difference.
