Snap Holiday (for only my wife's benefit, of course) Pt 1

Yesterday morning, shortly after the temperature in Deforest City hit 125 F (just a rough estimate), I turned to my wife and said, "Pack your bags. We're leaving town."

We're going to Fenelon Falls," I continued as she started to protest in surprise.

"We're going to visit our grand-daughters." (Oh yeah, I know how to win her over to my spontaneous ideas).

"We're going to stay until Friday."

"We're going to sit on the dock and drink cold beverages."

"We're going to jump in the lake when we feel like it."

I heard a car door slam. I closed my mouth. She was already in the car.

Outside Milton I asked, "Which part of my plan got you into the car so fast?"

She answered with her own question.

"How do I take videos of the girls with your new camera?"

It is now Tuesday, 2:24 pm.

I am sitting four steps from the lake.

Three steps from a cooler.

Two steps... one... splash.

Let me know when the temp in Deforest City is under 100 F again.
