Forties Top 40, #11

#11:  Going up to the lake.

I'm not sure if it's just a Minnesota thing, 

but here in the summer people go up to the lake.

Even if it's south of home.

Usually it's not.

They even shorten it with "Goin' up."

"Ya goin' up this weekend?"

"Ya, you betcha."

We've been blessed with generous friends

who share their cabin with numerous people every summer

and wish there were enough weekends for more.

We're spoiled, to say the least.

I love the rhythm of days at the cabin.

Gorgeous sunrises and loon calls reward the early riser.

Then time to play in the water.

Maybe swim off the pontoon.

Or go canoeing.

Dinner on the grill or fire.

Topped off with s'mores.

Obviously.

Inside for cards.

Or movies.

Or board games.
Whatever floats your boat.

And repeat.

It's always hard to come home.
