Land No-Lakes

In our portion of flyover country, we have vast seas of commodity crops – namely corn and soybeans – but not much in terms of bodies of water. One of the rare exceptions is a man-made reservoir that serves as the primary potable water source for our community and some of the surrounding areas. It is also a place where one can swim, water ski, or fish. (Although not simultaneously – that would prove rather difficult.)

On this day, our family joined Julie and Marcos’s at their relative’s lake house, where we celebrated the last day of summer break, a fitting end to a memorable and fun period of our lives.
