I'm struggling to write a small tribute for my cousin David Lockwood's 60th birthday (shh, secret), doing some Googprocrastination to get myself around childhood visits to Squaw Cove. You describe it all so well and I feel refocused. Grateful. ~Eloïse Thanks, Ken.

Yes, Squam is a special place for me and my family. I don't get up there as often as I used to, but I'm looking forward to a week at our cabins later in August. Sounds like you had a lovely day to be on the water. Sometimes it's a better choice to leave our responsibilities behind for a day and take the time to forge bonds with those we love. Work will always be there, but I'm sure you and your son will long remember your day out on the water. Thanks, Joe! Yes, Squam is a special place for me and my family.

At the last minute I took the day off yesterday from my busy schedule to take my 6 year old son, Gus and his friend sailing. Seems Squam moves us in the same way. Reading about your aging taking you away from time on Squam has made me realize how soon that will happen to my son and how truly valuable times like yesterday for me and the ones you describe are.

I've obviously been neglecting my blog for a while, eh? Yes, Squam is a special place for me and my family, and it epitomizes the peaceful beauty of God's creation. Thanks for your very kind comments. In many ways, I've written my blog posts for myself, a journal of sorts to help trigger memories in years to come. That it also brings some enjoyment to other readers is truly satisfying. Cheers, --Ken Betsy,

I can just imagine it all... What a joy and a blessing to grow up with such a treasure of a family that took the time for the simple peaceful pleasures of God's creation. I'm glad you got to go back to the place of your childhood. It is hard to see things change as we grow older, especially those childhood memories and treasures. ...(realizing you were shorter and smaller then, more energetic... that always gets me! : ) This too has a reason from above we shall only understand later. I've enjoyed reading your blogs of France and more, thanks for sharing. May you be blessed! ~Betsy Your writing is wonderful! I can just imagine it all…

I took this around 9:30; should have waited until closer to 11 so there would be zero remaining light on the horizon. Probably would have seen more stars. It was a 30 second exposure.
