Summer Nights

It is now July 19th and normally the first 18 years of my life at this time I would be in Lake of the Ozarks otherwise known as Osage Beach, Missouri. The last few years however we have not gone there, you have to understand we went to the same place and it became like our second home, and now I miss it. The place we used to go to no longer exists. To clue you all in this was not just the family, it was the extended family, and it was a fun time with lots of memories. As I entered my house tonight it all came flooding back into my mind, and I just wanted to be in that familiar place. Plus tonight feels like one of those Ozark nights and it makes me want to hop on the boat and go cruising along, with the moonlight glistens on the water. I think another reason as to why I want to go there right now is just for the fact that it is summer and I have not even been on our boat once yet. I truly do not feel like this is summer, yet it is and it is almost gone. Also, right now it feels like one of those nights where I could just sit outside of our room or on the boat dock, and it is calm, the commotion of the day is no longer and all you hear are the crickets and the slight waves of the water. It is so peaceful!
