Lake Day! Theย day we packed the car and headed to the lake feltย Christmas Eve exciting. For one week, the Ozark Mountains replaced our Delta fields. The lake promisedย a change of pace beyond scenery.
Food tasted betterโbarbecue, hand churned ice cream, hot dogs roasted on theย island with a sprinkle of sand blown by the warm wind.
Inside our cabin, the air smelled distinct andย exotic, the smell of a specialย place locked up tight until summer. Through the jumbleย of trees, our glittery lake had waited for us a whole year. A year spent growing taller, learning fractions, playing kickball.
At long last, we were home at theย lake where our days spread long and lazy and everything felt easy.
