Today was an absolute blast.

We started out at an antique store. Something I’m always down to do but so rarely get to experience. I purchased a cross stitch I couldn’t let go. It wasn’t old and it was $10. I couldn’t walk away from someone’s hard work with it being priced so low.

Then we ended up at a restaurant that was delicious. I was bummed out that I didn’t get a chocolate shake though.

After that, we went to a lake house and paddled around on the lake. I took my kid with me after spending an hour with our feet in. She sat between me and her cousin, and eventually fell asleep. Her cousin and I then had a very scary encounter with a spider. There was screaming and cursing. But overall it was so much fun.

After we got home we sat around and told stories. It was a good time.

The lake was proof that nature does a body good.
