Day 17

Today I am celebrating my "lake family".  As many of you know, I spend much of my free time in the spring, summer and fall at my family's lake house.  Our house is part of a very special community and they have been like a second family to me.  I am so blessed to have this group as a part of my life and feel closer to many of them than I do my own relatives.

Every year we have two big picnics a year where we all get together and laugh, eat great food and enjoy each others company.  Throughout the year we have campfires where my dad and S play the guitar and everyone enjoys singing and chatting.  We all love the water and many of the families have boats for tubing, skiing and wakeboarding.  There is a nightly happy hour for the over 50 crowd on the sundeck and others enjoy spending time on the beach gossiping and catching up on the days news.  I am so lucky to have these wonderful people in my life and often find myself tearing up when we all say good-bye in October.  I love them all like family and wish them all a very Merry Christmas!
