Three years ago, our friends invited us to join them at Sunflower Resort, their annual summer getaway at Lake Pomme de Terre. There's a television we never turn on. No phones or computers to distract us. Just the zipping of speed boats in the distance and lots of time to catch up on books and trashy magazines. Craig and Jeanne have been going for the last fifteen years. After we went that first time, it was easy to understand the appeal. It's small, quiet and the two best days of relaxation and sunshine we get all summer. If you're ever near Wheatland, Missouri, make it a point to stop and take a moment to escape from all the busy-ness of life.

For this first lake post, all the wonderful quiet moments of a weekend getaway.
