It is always nice to return to the lake house. We bought this place with David and Suzanne before Sarah was born and she has just turned 15 so we have owned this place jointly for over 17 years. The whole venture has turned out well. We enjoy it now just as well as we did all those years ago. It is just difficult to spend much time here. For David and Suzanne it is especially difficult with sports and church and friends all pulling at the children's time, making it difficult to get here as much as in the past.
The day was warm but the lake was quiet. Not a boat in sight. Ken and I sat on the deck enjoying the warmth of the evening, just talking or reading or spotting the new homes across the bay. Even the birds were quiet. Most have moved further south I guess. Just one lone Turkey Vulture circling over head. Ken suggested that it might be after me!!
We are retired so have all the time in the world to do whatever we wish to do, but now tomorrow we must drive to the ranch. Work was done in our absence so we are keen to check it out. But we will return to this lovely place but not until Sunday night, when we will once again live here for a few days. We like living here by the lake in Texas.
