On my birth certificate it says:City: Shell Lake
County: Washburn
State: Wisconsin
In my heart: Childhood memories of picnics in this lakeside park.
Images of this sandy beach - - -
Etched forever in my mind. 
Calling me to kick off my shoes and - - -
Wade in the water.
Sister Pam, standing on the shore of Shell Lake - - -
On a warm September morning.
Just look who decided to join us.Well, actually, I guess we joined them.
No life guard today.
And a stone's throw away - - - this tiny hospital. The newer, larger, improved version of the one in which both Pam and I were born.And as we got in the car to drive away, dad suddenly nearly jumped out of the moving car in his haste to catch these folk:
Kenny and his daughter Darla who attended our church all those many years ago. What a delightful surprise to find them here..

What a killer cool place to grow up and be born! My birth certificate says "Boringville".
What fun, the scenery is so peaceful. How great it was for your dad to catch friends from the past. I'm sure you talked for hours about it in the car on the way home.. Priceless... hugs ~lynne~
What a fun memory. Btw-those are some fancy red toenails.
Hi Girlfriend...
Loved this sweet repost, my friend! Shell Lake looks like a great place to grow up! How far is Shell Lake from where you live now?
Loved that your dear Dad got to see old church friends...that was awesome! Thanks again for sharing this sweet post with us for the Sunday Favorites party today, Darlin'!!!
Hope you're having a super sweet Sunday!

Wow. You are right...we do have similar feet shots today! Great minds...
What a wonderful place to spend one's childhood. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for stopping by my Mad Party. Your thoughtful comments about the effort that went into the party were most appreciated. Sometimes I question how I like to spend time. LOL But it was truly fun for me, even though it was blazing hot last year. Hot again this summer too! ~ Sarah
Why is the beach closed? Gorgeous beach though! I want to go there~
It looks so beautiful there! What great memories I am sure you have.
Sort of like taking a peek into the makings of Keetha! :) Glad you could catch up with some old friends.
This is such a cool idea! I always wonder upon discovering a new blog what posts I had been missing out on, so this is perfect. It looks like you entered the world in a beautiful place!
Splendid! I was born in Sawyer County, myself.
What a fun trip. It looks like a beautiful place to grow up!
What fun to go back and see where you were born and what luck to see someone you knew! cool :)
What a lovely post! It is so nice to remember sweet times past. And, how lucky to see folks you remember! I know your trip has given you new memories to treasure.
