A peaceful moment for you today


Lake Tahoe is one of America’s great destinations—an outdoor adventure paradise backed by the Sierra Nevadas that’s beautiful in every season.

I will share it with my daughter, who gave birth to my first and only grandchild 15 days ago. The baby's middle name is Lake, because of the affinity both her parents have with that particular body of water.

Now if only the Canadian border would open so I can go see her. They live in Toronto.

Redefines the meaning of "grand" for sure!

I hope you get to see her soon!

Pondering the attributes of "lake-ness" enhances the beauty of the name. At first I wasn't sure, but after Erin and Jordan explained why they chose the name, I fell in love with it. The quote made it even more wonderful.
