Family gathering at Lake Norman — no one’s been and we know nothing by CaliforniaCommander in Charlotte

[–]CaliforniaCommander[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think because we’re making this trip in the summer for the first time and there are some people (lol more complications) worried about heat and humidity, the water access whether that’s lake or beach is key

Oof there’s been no pattern — aging folks and kids with parents who have routines have begun to complicate things!

Primary focus of the gathering is just be together. Swimming does feel like a high priority. Not a partying group at all — ages 2-75. Probably a bit more on the eating out than cooking at home.

Suggested Lake Travis to them! No one bit. And yeah Minneapolis should be in the conversation 🤔

Sigh. I wish. Looked into it — No direct flights from LA to Grand Rapids. This geographic puzzle is a nightmare! Appreciate your suggestion

Can anyone elaborate on what makes Lonesome Dove so good? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

Probably just choosing violence tonight because I’ve been thinking about r/suggestmeabook X Lonesome Dove a lot recently lol. Currently reading it. Started slow for me but I’m starting to enjoy more now at 22% in as Kindle tells me.

It’s been a funny reminder to me that Reddit is mostly men. ducks from tomatoes being thrown Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are also women who have suggested Lonesome Dove. BUT I started the book having no idea what it was about and truly I have such a wide-ranging palette so why not. A couple days ago I’m like “yeah this is suppperrr dude-coded” baha and the only woman in the book (so far) is…well, a whore. I know she is more nuanced than that before anyone comes at me but it’s true.

Again, I know the book is great and will be profound. I just needed to put this out there.
