This is Susan's watercolor version of the old editor paddling.

Sunday on the Pond with Susan

My good friend Susan and I haven't paddling for more than a year and today was the day to fix that. We loaded the kayaks and headed out to Carvins Cove (which is not far from my house) and put into a warm lake with a slight breeze and an overcast sky. Just about perfect weather.

We decided some years ago that this was church for us. On holidays--secular or religious--it is our celebration. This paddle on this cove is our soul-soothing respite and it never fails, even the day when we both nearly got washed away with a sudden storm. We laughed then; we laugh now.

It is a lovely way to celebrate a friendship.
