After the rain Drama Queen Pier

We had a nice little thunderstorm earlier, and the cooler air felt lovely, especially since I'm getting sick and fever-y. (And whiny, too. At home I am not a graceful person in illness!) Then the parents, sisters, and I drove down to the Lake to s...

Aww Treasures Shades of Gray Fireworks
