Summer on Lake Svoboda
Michigan summers have to be one of the most delicious things in the world. The humidity carries up the smells of the fresh water lakes and the neighbours’ BBQs. I can even ignore the mosquitoes and the muck after it rains. It is lovely.
I stayed at my best friend’s parent’s house on one of the gazillion (actual number) of gorgeous lakes that dot our state. Not Lake Svoboda - that’s their name, but wouldn’t it be great if the lake were named after them? They must be the nicest, most accommodating people in the world. This isn’t the first time they put my husband and me up while we were back visiting family.
During my wedding they housed me, my husband (to be - now just straight husband), his brother, his best man, another groomsman and also just another random friend who’d flown in. Not only that, they took us out, fed us and generally took care of us.
What lovely people. Michigan summers wouldn’t be complete without an extended family like the Svoboda’s taking you under their wing. Bless ‘em.
Typically, I didn’t take a single picture of this stunning house and lake. But I’ve attached a photo that I stole from someone else’s website that kind of does the experience justice.
