Our 35th anniversary falls this weekend. We had a great day together, including dinner, a movie, and a ride in the kayaks. We were well on the other side of the lake when Michelle said, “Let’s explore the shoreline.” I hadn’t heard her say that before in our kayaking outings but it sounded interesting so I paddled near her, along the west shoreline. She then stopped at the shore, where we had never stopped before, and said, “Let’s get out here.” Now this did seem a bit odd. But, of course, I said, “Sure.” It ends up that Michelle had packed a picnic breakfast in the hull of the two kayaks, carefully hidden from view. We had a delightful meal together, along the peaceful shoreline of Lake Jacqueline. I am most grateful for Michelle. She is a true gem.
