WEnt back to IA for the weekend. In my alternate reality, I dove into the lake, swam 5 yards before I surfaced, water glistening and swam around in heaven. In actual reality, I climbed in with a life jacket on. It felt great. At first it was cold, but after the first few minutes, the water is really heaven. Much clearer than normal, few boats were out. I skied and tubed. My sister couldn't come because she as at work and Dan couldn't make it because his mom is recovering from a concussion and needed some help. Not as much fun without him, but DJ Steve came, too, and was able to get up on skis on his first try--though he has skied several times in the past, it's been a few years.
