At the Lake Part 5 - The Lake

[note: This is an 8 part story written by my sister Esther.]

We did settle in and found the countryside to be just beautiful. I fell in love with the dogwood trees among the pine trees. It was the pine trees that made the town grow because the lumber was needed to build houses and those buildings made for jobs which men needed to have the security to raise their families. The blossoms on the dogwood trees were so lovely to see as we traveled around the lake learning how to go in and out of the neighborhood.

Our piece of land was like a slice of a pie when you entered at the gate, the drive way made a wide curve to the pie end of the land and also it went down the hill to end at the boat landing where we could put the boat in to the lake. Vernon bought his boat with everything he needed to enjoy his fishing time. And he had a new pickup truck to launch and retrieve his boat. He even had a nice trolling motor so he did not have to use the paddle too much. Easy was better than for him to struggle. He was all for “good old easy”.
