Lazy lake days are my favorite. After a rainy Saturday, yesterday was a glorious day. The sun came up and shined through my windows. The coffee/tea was hot, the beer/rose’ was cold, and we had a full tank of gas.

We took a ride on the lake and stopped for a picnic lunch at our new favorite rock. It took some gymnastics, but we sat on top of the rock and had our picnic. We got back just in time for the daily summer thunderstorm.

We took a nap while it rained. We looked like old porch dogs—one sprawled on the glider, one laid out on the couch.

Then we sat on our dock looking out at the mountains until sunset. So peaceful.

My husband said, I feel like we’re dating again—except this time we’re married. I chuckled, but then I thought, what a nice sentiment. I feel the same way. I think our empty nest is going to be fine when the day actually comes.

I hope you all have a glorious lake day in the coming days! A very Happy Fourth of July to you.

Love Y’all, Marla
