Lake

Along The Magnificent Mile in Chicago, there is one of the most beautiful Great Lakes. Some 90 miles away from Lake Michigan there is a small city in Indiana called Winona Lake. I've not touched the waters of either, but they hold treasured memories. In 1971-72, I found myself commuting between the two lakes. It was not a commute to work but one to love. The vehicle drives to see her were not very often or predictable because I did not own an automobile. We were then engaged, and I was a senior in college. We both worked in a ministry with ex-drug addicts for the same organization. She lived and worked with women some 90 miles away from my home in Chicago where I worked with the men. We both were connected to a LAKE. These were the laid-back days of pre-internet and pre-Fed Ex.; the days of 'snail mail' and expensive landline telephone. We mostly communicated between the two lakes by way of letters affixed with inexpensive postage stamps. 031523PSCtest, Writing Challenge-'L' Words. Constance La France
