Lucy is sleeping off her first boat ride and dreaming about her first-hand (paw?) look at how the other half lives. Yesterday evening while on her walk, a member of the neighboring lake community invited us to take a tour of the lake on his pontoon boat. We were at first hesitant, but after we were chided more than once with, “C’mon, you all don’t have anything else to do,” I signaled with forefinger and thumb a capital L on my forehead and we said, “Oh, all right.” The lake community prohibits motorized boats and jet skis, and thanks to the barely audible electric motor, it was a very peaceful cruise. And of course, the weather was gorgeous, as those of you in these parts know.

So, as soon as Lucy rests up, we’ll post a few pics and a bit of interesting history (or a link to such) about the lake. In the meantime, Lucy sends a yaaawn and wishes everyone a happy 4th. *waving sparklers*
