It was a lovely night for a clockwise paddle around Hidden Lake. A T-shirt would do, but the extra hoodie layer was a good choice, ensuring complete comfort.
With full bellies from a nearby sushi restaurant, Dave and I took our oars, locked Archie inside the house (he’d run around the lake after us if we hadn’t), and floated together.
It was like you’d imagine; relaxing, easy, like nothing else mattered.
I soaked it in, telling myself, “Remember this feeling”. I do miss Evelyn but know she’s in good hands with her grandparents.
Take care.
Love, Jaclynn
