The next two days (or more) I decided to take the easy way out and just post pictures of my happy place, Lakeside, Ohio. As I shared yesterday my entire family rented a couple of houses and spent the week together following my Mother’s Celebration of Life.
I have a lot of great pictures and a lot of memories, of course, and I want to be able to look back on this post in a few years and smile. So please – enjoy my happy place with me.
One of the houses we stayed in — this was the “big” house. I always admired this house when we would come to Lakeside and finally got to stay in it.

The following picture was one I snapped of my great niece as she played on the dock in a puddle. I thought it was perfect.
One of her dolls might have been partying a bit too hard…
Ohio’s Most Beautiful Mile at sunset.
This was kind of the most perfect thing to see along our walk.
I have so many shots of the flag at the dock. It is one of my favorite views.

Lake hair but a beautiful memory made.

This bunny (can you even tell it is a bunny?) appeared in the front yard of the big house a couple of times. Ir you recall my mom had a bunny collection so we took this as a sign that she was part of our week. Perfect.

Great snaps. Can’t wait to see more. ❤️
Great memories. Love the bunny and the connection to your mom.
Thanks for the photos! I have taken so many flag photos through the years. And sunset photos. (P.S. now I feel better about the crazy card I sent you- Iwas trying to tap into the love of Lakeside and family- thanks for your message.)
I can see why you love Lakeside so much. Beautiful place to be with family. So thankful you had this together time at this special location (in the big house).
Wonderful pictures of your favorite place at such a special time in your families life. Looking forward to seeing more memories.
