lakes, love and fathers day
yayz- omg - to celebrate eight years of happy happy monkey time - so far - i'm getting some bfast made for me - woot! and rooster said last night - instead of going out for dinner i have an idea. folks - we're going to lake berryessa and we're goddamn camping overnight. i am so excited. i has bucket. squee. woot. yay. LAKE MOTHERFUCKING LAKE. ok - yayz. there are boat rentals there too- but i bet the dog can't go on them. someday maybe i will have a pontoon boat on a lake and all yall can come and relax and we'll putter around the lake @ 5 miles per hour with tasty drinks in hand and the dog happy waggy and it will be teh awesome. for today though - i get to SWIM and it's the happy. i like anniversaries.
hafta call dad on the way there and wish him happy fathers day.
i miss his calm reserved practical happy. my best memories of him are sitting with him on the boat with the beach boys on and we're just enjoying the sun and the water. not talking. not anything except just being there. funny to say boats. boats here are so different than in the midwest. in california they sound wealthy and usually mean yachts or sailboats that cost a gazillion dollars. in michigan - it's anything from a rickety rowboat to a nice ski boat but even then - it's accessible to middle class folks. people who have desk jobs and factory jobs and work for the fire department. it was crazy common to have had at least one friend with some sort of water or lake access or boat type thing.
lakes. dads. family. love.
it's all about today.

Funny, I was just thinking about a lake in the Poconos that I got to swim in as a child (my parents knew someone with a little cabin we were invited to stay in a couple times) and how it was possibly the happiest play-time for me that I can remember. Bucket indeedy.
The last lake I swam in was Lake Siskiyou up by Mount Shasta. So amazing. I've never been to Berryessa- have fun!!!

I'm sorry the dress thing didn't pan out, but am very happy you are going to the lake. I'm going to a lake next weekend and can't wait.
