Going Home Again

I spent the afternoon with Gary we drove up to Eagles Mere Lake, it was an outstanding day. The beach seemed deserted, there was no breeze and no one was sailing. We walked to the boat house, they have put two new lockers rows behind the boat house with a large parking lot to go a long with the new lockers. Just as you hit the beach where Mom had sat with all her lady friends there was a large group of men and women sitting in one large circle. They must be grand parents because no one was watching the water to keep an eye on any children. I said to Gary, "should I put my shirt on- the I AM A CROUSE tee shirt" but no one even questioned me. It must be the Crouse Face I have. Of course Gary hated it but he held it together so I could enjoy an hour or so at one of the most beautiful places in the world. I may not have any years left I wanted to go home again because it is a second home to me. I have spent 59 years of my life going to this lake how do you walk away from that. My homestead is gone the lake could go next but for today I went home.
