Anticipation
Our annual Lake Anna week starts this coming Sunday. Most people definitely look forward to their vacation week with great anticipation! They pack their clothes, maybe some snacks, possibly some fishing gear if that is an activity they enjoy, maybe a kayak or SUP, load the car, and off they go. Well, Linda has to make everything complicated, so yeah, not so simple with us! So about 6 weeks ago, I started my planning. I pulled up my lake spreadsheets...yes plural. There's the menu to make, and assign the proper person to cook each meal. Then there's the list of items to pack. Every year there are staples, but every year it changes by what meals we are making, so there's a lot of planning that goes into that list! Sleeping arrangements are on the next one. Then the list of what has to be done before we leave...stop the mail, find a cat sitter, etc. Why all this fuss for a week at the lake? I will tell you... We cook every meal but one ...
