Getting High

The water at the lake is indeed getting high. It rose two feet while we were there and is at around 22 feet above normal. The kids didn't care one bit and had fun swimming to the dock and taking rides on the seadoo and boat. I spent the weekend reading my book (Jane Eyre), piddling around at the cabin, and receiving all the nature treasures the kids found (mostly fungi and feathers) and gifted me with. Jackson finally made it to the the "fish restaurant" aka Self's (Jackson's name for the place came from fish that hang on the wall). The owner, Billie, always make such a big fuss over Jackson and Addie which is another reason I think he may prefer it to any other place in town. Jackson oversaw a couple of decorative additions to the cabin this weekend, mostly involving the hanging of light strands in his favorite places. The upstairs screened porch is both of the kids' favorite place and they enjoyed helping (okay, Addie was no help, but she loved running back and forth) us hang lights around the top of the room.
