Probably the last time out on the lake until next spring. Yesterday was a beautiful day. I took the boys to church in the morning while Kendall slept. (He was between 2 night shifts.) He got up mid-afternoon so that we could go out on the lake before dark which is an hour earlier now.
It felt good to get out on the lake again. It has been quite an adjustment since Kendall started working long shifts. As we headed out in the boat I felt like I could breathe. I really felt like I was finally out in the fresh air instead of in a stuffy cabin. I guess that's why they call it "cabin fever." And I can hear the sighs as people think, "Oh, Karen. If you have cabin fever already, you are in trouble." Well, I'm going to attribute some of this cabin fever to the adjustment to different working hours. So, even though winter has not even begun and even though it may not be this warm again for another 6 months, I have hope. (Wow. 6 months?! Wow. I shouldn't have counted that up. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.) As I was saying, I do have some brand of cabin fever right now, but I have hope. We'll adjust.
eEli saw this rock pile and was intrigued. He said, "I think that's God's Ebenezer!"

I love those sunset pictures with the open water. In the next few months there will be something neat about scooting across the open ice on a snowmobile too. Dave
