“I know, but I want to spend this day with you. Every minute counts.â€? He grins like he has a big secret.

“What are you hiding?â€? I ask in suspicion.

He laughs, “It’s going to take a lot more to get that out of me.â€?
I smile and sit back. There is no way he is going to tell me. He turns on Christmas music; I turn my head towards him.

“Christmas music?â€?

“Heck ya!â€? He turns it up.

I laugh. We sing the music like crazy people. When we go down a familiar road, I realize where we are going.

“We are going to the lake aren’t we?â€?

“Smart girl.â€?

The car stops and we get out. The amazing winter whit blinds my eyes as I stare into the beautiful trees and knee deep snow.

“This is amazing.â€?
