7.5 Day 29 Quintessential Summer

Gotta love it - those days when you feel like you're an actor in a movie... The scene: a Northern Minnesota lake cabin. The temperature? Perfect. Sunny, with a little breeze. The ambiance? Peaceful as can be. Greens, blues, soaring birds, sunning turtles. Plants that you can almost hear grow.
Pat and I set out in Dad's old fiberglass boat, with Pat's scavenged motor, en route to our neighbor's house for a little 4th of July neighborhood cheer. Me: clad in swintop, propped in the front of the boat, feeling like a beauty queen. All I missed was the lipstick. Pat: ever suave, amazingly white T-shirt for the Northwoods, grinning, driving the boat effortlessly. The hum of the engine, the prow cutting through the amber water, the gleam of a few other craft across the way.
Ah, summer.
