A Trip to Cedar Lake


Spent the weekend at the cabin at Cedar Lake and just relaxed. I so did not want to come back. It wasn't too hot, it wasn't too cold, it was just perfect.

We sat around and talked, had a few drinks - we even went fishing! It's been forever since I've gone fishing. I had forgotten how relaxing it could be. Although Jess wouldn't bait her hook and she freaked when she actually caught a fish. Derek was in charge of taking all the fish off of the hooks because of course Jess and I didn't want to do it.

Pictures: (right) Jess forcing a smile as Derek holds up her catch. (Bottom) Dingo, formerly known as Hershey.

We spent most of the weekend out on the deck and we were blessed with the presence of Hershey. Hershey is the cutest little puppy. Apparently he was abandoned and was just being fed by the neighbors. He looks like he's part Rottweiler and part Lab. It's been awhile since I've witnessed such cute puppy behavior. He kept jumping into the late and swimming around the dock and he was running in and out of the water at the shore attacking seaweed. There was no way we could leave him there to roam the neighborhood so we convinced Derek's dad to take him in. His name is now Dingo, short for Dingbat which is reserved for when he misbehaves. I think he and Derek's dad will be good for each other though.
I've only been back for a day and I'm already wanting to get back out of town. I head to Eureka Springs in a couple of weeks so I guess I'll just have to wait until then.
