Life at the Lake on Memorial Weekend

Our (all of us CDP bloggers) friend Abe at Brookeville Daily Photo has a great post for Memorial Day. Please check it out.
Around here, Memorial Weekend is known as the FIRST BIG WEEKEND OF THE SUMMER and everyone who has a lake house comes. That means lots of things....yard work, getting the boat back in shape, inflating all of the kiddos water toys and hitting the water with every imaginable vessel available. For those of us lucky enough to be here full-time, it means "HERE THEY COME AGAIN, THERE GOES OUR PEACE AND QUIET!". We were "week-enders" longer than we've been "full-timers" so we hope we still maintain a sense of balance and patience! Anyway, I had expected to get a photo of boats and PWC's galore this morning. But, alas, it's a bit windy and overcast and still pretty quiet out there. Maybe tomorrow or Monday I'll be able to get such a post. But for today, here are a few golden oldies with the theme of lake life, memories and Old Glory.

Peace, happiness, health and good memories to you all!
