This pandemic has taught me to appreciate moments, especially those when everything seems to fall in place. This was one of those moments. We had just returned from a day of sailing at Lake Waccamaw. The kids were playing on the deck and we were hanging out on the porch at the sailing club. There was a calm that comes after a full day on the water and the lake seemed to follow suit. I took a photo, several photos actually, and then a few weeks later picked one out as a reference.
