“We didn’t have much then, but we had the lake.”

“I watched swimmers from a beach chair, in the sun, all day.”

“I walk the bluff most evenings with my dog. I can’t tell you how many times we have been caught - sun shining one minute and dark sky the next. When the beach house is renovated, it will bother for eveyone. A place to shelter in this crazy WI weather.”

“My mother would pack sandwiches and we would run down the bluff ahead of her. You could hear the lake before you saw it.”

“Sand. Sand in everything. Sunburned and freckles. Happiest memories of Doctors Park.”

“We are both from here but hadn’t met until much later. As we walked down the staircase, we put two and two together.”

“Each spring I go to Doctors Park to watch the first birds heading north. There’s nothing quite like seeing Baltimore orioles flash through the ravine.”
