Cross Lake vacation

Bill and I recently spent a much-needed retreat at the huge lake home of Diane and Kevin's friends on Cross Lake. On the way there we met our friend Roxie and her two kids and ate lunch at the "Deerstand," a new restaurant in a old church that has been renovated just outside of Deerwood. At Cross Lake, we settled in, took walks, read and watched a couple of really good DVDs - "Radio" and "Shall We Dance" in the evenings. On a Sunday afternoon we had a long and pleasant visit with Pastor Norman (our former pastor) and his wife, Mildred, at their summer home on Kimball Lake. That evening, Diane and Kevin and the girls arrived. We spent a couple more days with them and of course, went to the ice cream store and gift shop. They stayed on after we left. One rainy, cloudy day we were rewarded by the sun's last gasp just before it disappeared for the night.
