"Are You Ready for Summer?"
Summer is the season that most of us who call north Idaho home plan for, wait for, dream for, and talk about long after it's past. After all, when winter seems like it has lasted for 6 months (though it's really about 3 months), the lazy days of summer are the stuff that dreams are made of.
As a child, I was privileged to take my first swimming lessons in Lake Coeur d'Alene. That may sound like a good thing, but the water in the first weeks of June can be chilly, particularly in the morning, which is when my lessons were. I later realized that the legacy of taking my swimming lessons in the frigid waters was a "right of passage" for me, and I have considered it a blessing of a childhood that was spent in the BEST place on earth!
Many of you also have fond summer memories - and often enjoy bringing them to life each year - with friends, family, children, grandchildren and those new to our area. Whether your summer includes water sports, golf courses, camping, fishing, hiking, racket sports, or just sitting in the back yard on a lazy warm evening - we encourage you to continue to make memories this summer!
Each day is a precious gift, enjoy it, treasure it, and when it is finished - store it in your bank of memories to pull out on the cold winter days that will eventually be here.
Make this June the one for making the most of every day!
