I spent a wonderful week at Lake Mokoma in LaPorte, PA with friends this past week. I'm thankful for:
1. This week being exactly what I needed. I needed friends, nature, and to get out of my too quiet house for a few days.
2. The temperature was PERFECT. It was 60s at night and 70s in the daytime, perfect for lots of walks around the lake and hiking. One of the hikes felt like we were in Lord of the Rings- everything was green and moss covered like the Shire.
3. Kayaking on the lake twice. Easy launch area and beautiful paddles.
4. I got to swim in the lake too! We had a rainy week, so we were fitting our hikes and paddles in between showers and storms, but I was able to swim a little bit the last day when it was warm enough.
5. Fun friends. We laughed all week at the refrigerator in the cabin that made a soft 'whoop' noise every time you opened it. We had good conversations, we watched corny movies, and just had a good time.
6. I got to hear Mary Beth preach at the local Presbyterian church.
