I might have to google this, but for fun I'd like to hear where you live is it Lake first or Lake after. I grew up in Maine. We frequented Swan Lake and St. George's Lake. We move and now it is Lake Gaston and Lake Kerr...I asked my husband when did lake come first?! What is up with that? I don't mean to sound like a Seinfeld episode, but why do some same say it before and others after?! Maybe I sound more like Andy Rooney. It is like those Toostie roll lollipops, the Indian shooting a star with his bow n' arrow on the wrapper; It means your wish will come true. Someone told me it means you get a free lolly if you go to the store with the wrapper. Huh? I never heard of that...have you?! Okay, I'm done for now...
Now onto my time away; my family kept asking me what was wrong... Nothing was wrong, I missed my online friends, I missed wifi, we didn't have cell phone service, no Starbucks. Honestly, it was more than that; I woke up feeling 11yrs old. The camp we rented reminded me of the camp my parents rented when I was a child. The lake, the way it set inside a cove. Summer time, I was either down to the wharf by Penobscot Bay or at Swan Lake. I had a great time with my family, just it was a day of transition, getting settled in. Trying on an old shoe, that I hadn't worn in a while; I had a great time. My kids came up with a term for me...I thought it was a joke. They heard on the radio about this condition called popcorn brain. I laughed, yes, I eat a lot of popcorn. It is my comfort food, from being partly raised in a movie theater. My parents met in one, I use to go on the weekends with my Dad. He was a projectionist and a Texaco man, by day he wore a star, by night he showed them on the silver screen. Popcorn brain is a real condition. I do not have it, not yet anyway. I just was reflecting on what camp use to be like and what it is like now! A lot more work, mainly ;D Here are some photos I took!

Alex-Thanks Alex; no, I don't have it.
We couldn't all fit in the boat at once. The first day it was me alone with our hound, Buster. I did get some writing done :D
Have a good day.
Yvonne.
Looks like a gorgeous vacation. I'm very jealous. :D <3
No wifi?
That picture on the bench is just too wonderful!
You'd also make a good spy.

Sherry-I am trying to keep in the spirit of the color challenge. Next week, red...damn haven't even started it yet. Thank you so much~
Yvonne-Thank you; yes, the kids had a great time! Tubing was the most fun and taking our beagle on a boat.
He tried to jump out and chase a buoy...funny~
And by the way when I saw it I thought it was your entry for the brown challenge in The Summer of colour until I actually read the post!
