Description from Jogi: Thinking of being at the lake in Maine when we go gather with the hubby's fam. Everyone out on kayaks or paddle boards, enjoying the lake as much as possible. There is a camp across the lake that has lots of campers who are out on their boards and in canoes and kayaks! Going through the horse eye beads brought it all back! So ready to be there right now!

Melody F says:I love this pick! Hope it goes POD! Into my favorites it goes now. I like your description of the lake. Lucky you to be able to go there. These beads always remind me of leaves, but boats and boards are good too.

EPBCornell says:How wonderful! Any way to get out for a paddle in the Northeast in August is a good thing. Thanks for sharing the picture– I can see why you look forward so much to your gatherings at this lake, a beautiful retreat with good company in your husband’s family to enjoy the activities it offers. (We are lucky when we marry into a family whose company & character(s) we can appreciate and enjoy and love. It’s amazing when they seem to love us, too.)
