Bush Lake and other stuff
I have a few friends that encouraged me to start a blogsite. I had one from 2008 to 2016 but was unable to connect and add to it so decided to start this one. The name comes from a favorite memory of mine. My dad's favorite thing to do was go swimming. He would take my brother and I over to Bush Lake in Bloomington, MN. and we would spend a couple hours having fun swimming. You were not allowed to have flotation devices but no problem. I had my dad tossing me off his shoulders into the water. He taught me how to float by taking a big breath, holding it and floating on the water. To this day I enjoy doing that. We would always end the day at the concession stand with an ice cream cone to take home. Sitting on our towels in our 1960s station wagon with the wind in our hair (no air conditioning then) was a fond memory for me. I'd go back in a minute to have one of those days.
