A Night With the Girls at the Lake

Chance of storms, but it doesn’t matter.  What else are we gonna do on a Wednesday night?  We pack up the food, fishing poles, and of course the nightcrawlers we caught the night before.  Destination: Big Indian Lake.  It is just a few miles East of Odell, and five of us girls head that way for the night after work.  We pull up and claim our spot.  Mandi gets the grill going and starts making the hamburgers.  We all sit around and talk as the sky darkens in the North.  We all conclude that if we were lost in the wilderness, if we had Kerstin and Mandi with us, we would survive—must be something to do with them growing up with older brothers.  Anways supper is amazing; with one of the best hamburgers I’ve ever had (Kudos to Mandi)!  FINALLY, it’s time to go fishing, but the sky is turning an even deeper shade of blue.  The girls get their lines out into the water, as my sister makes me put the worm on her hook (Don't know if she'd ever be able to survive in the wilderness).  And then the lightening starts.  Our perfect day has come to an abrupt stop, and we drive home in blinding rain, but it was still a good one here in Odell, Nebraska...and there's always next week to do it all over again.
