Book Cover & Preview Text
"My Dad put our boat in the water today. It's so good to hear it and see it again. I take him a fresh cup of coffee to drink while he works on it."
"On the 4th of July, there is a boat parade around the lake. At night, we watch the fireworks from our dock. The water is lit up with boat lights and they blow their horns when they like the show."
"In autumn, the lake changes from a busy city neighborhood to a quiet country town. We go on long walks and listen to the geese honk "goodbye" as they fly south."
"We even have a winter barbeque on the ice. The neighbor ladies bring hot dishes of food and the men drill holes in the lake for us to ice fish. I catch a bluegill...my favorite."
