Childhood Revisited – a Lake Hanska Memory
Little Mary and Marilyn - Lake Hanska Bathing Beauties
Nebraska, the boat came to the farm to be part of our summer entertainment. Since I didn’t have the responsibilities of the maintenance of a boat motor, nor the upkeep of painting and varnishing a wooden boat, I have very fond memories of great times on the water in that boat. I also have fond memories of splashing around in the water with my older cousins. Marilyn was the only daughter of Uncle Lloyd and Aunt Veronica. She had a wonderful laugh, a generous nature and very sweet to her little cousin. I can almost feel the sun on my back and the water lapping against the black inner tube when I look at this picture. -
Do you have a summer memory like this one? If not, why don’t you make one for yourself? Take yourself to the beach or some shore. Wade in the water and wiggle your toes in the sand. Connect with Nature. It’s a simple thing which yields immeasurable benefits.
