When my youngest son was about ten or eleven, we had an opportunity to buy a house on a lake in South Dakota.
The house was just a few steps from the lake. It had two stories. The lower level had a big picture window that overlooked the lake and had a living room and kitchen and bathroom and a screened in porch for gazing and people watching.
The second level had two bedrooms and really big living room, a cedar bathroom that smelled heavenly, a fireplace and a deck where you could see practically the whole lake.
We had more company than we had ever had before. Almost every week-end there were several couples to swim and eat. I cooked and cooked and barbequed and we all had a wonderful time. People brought their boats, and knee boards, and flotation devices. We had rowboats that we tied up to the dock so the
In that house, we had a wedding shower for my daughter, and my oldest son had an outside wedding. I have such wonderful memories of that house/home. It was about seventy miles from our home so it was an easy trip for the week-end or for a week’s vacation.
The next few posts will be about this little house and some of the fun things that happened there.
The scenery was absolutely fascinating to my youngest son. He spent a lot of time taking pictures. We would go out on the boat at sundown and he would take snap after snap of not only the sunset, but the birds that loved to follow us. See you soon!
HI Great post and I look forward to more!
