PONDER. Ponder is a good and well used word when you live on the banks of the man made Lake of the Ozarks. Like, if while fishing from the dock you find a nail head that needs to be put back down, you ponder the importance because it would require a climb up to the garage for a hammer. The same with a small repair job in the house. Any kind of repair almost always requires one more little tool from the garage that after you've looked the house over for some kind of substitute and failed, requires some pondering.
At most all the lake homes, no matter where you're standing 'it's all uphill from here' is appropriate. It doesn't make any difference but when we go out to greet a visitor they always look down on us from seventeen steps above. Yep, living here sure has it's ups and downs.
As many hills as there are one would think that a long walk would be half easy as in walking down the other side of the hill you just climbed. Believe me, some of the hills are so steep that climbing up one is way easier than walking down the other side. They are not so steep that one needs to worry about bumping his head on the road behind him but we do have a few steepies. WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE!
