Hi Sue, love the magazine. If you ever do a special like ‘kids fishing on our lakes,’ I would love to submit this photo from last summer. Grandpa Steve Hopper with Hudson on Chapman Lake. His grandma and I just love taking him fishing.

Consider it done! Anyone else want to send pics of kids fishing? Send ‘em to sue@lakelifemagazine.com. Great idea, Grandpa Steve.

Hi, Sue: The Winona Lake Flotilla is Sunday, July 4 at 4 p.m. Theme is Past-Present-Future. Would love for anyone to join us or watch from shore!!! Love your magazine!!

–Barb Konie

We’re happy to spread the word. We’ve included the info on our ‘Bulletin Bits’ page as well in this issue. Have a great flotilla parade + a very Happy Fourth to all at Winona Lake.

Congrats on your first successful year of publication! I’ve enjoyed reading each issue! I would like to make one suggestion: if possible, could the labeling/address be placed on the back? Your cover pages are wonderful and I’d love to be able to display them in a frame.

–Kelly Vinci, via Facebook

Hi Kelly. Thank you for the suggestion; we consider that a very high compliment! While we would LOVE to follow your suggestion, the postal service sets the rules regarding required placement for mailing addresses. But, you’ve got me thinking… and I can hook you up with one for framing if you wish. Please email me and we’ll work it out! sue@lakelifemagazine.com

We are new to the area and have really enjoyed the LAKElife magazine. We have learned a lot about the area and found some amazing places to visit and eat. Thank you! –Nancy + Chris Moore, Chapman Lake It’s entirely our pleasure… thank YOU for reading + thanks for your email! Hi Sue, We absolutely LOVED all the photos and article you wrote for our home. You really knocked it out of the park. Eloquent, simple, and to the point. Thank you! Do you happen to know where we can pick up additional copies?

–Jaime Martin

Hi Sue: We love the magazine. It arrives at our home in Indy and makes us want to jump in the car and head north. Here are some pics from the last few years… Bowes cousins on the Dixie both as young ones, then a bit older (editor note: and a few others we’ll print later!). Hope you can use some of them. We look forward to more issues. I am looking for a good dog/ lake photo although I am sure that you are inundated with them. Thanks so much.

–Kriss Bowes

Thanks, Kriss. I hope everyone keeps me inundated… keep ‘em coming! This is the readers’ magazine; it’s made for you.

This is taken on Small Pike Lake on May 24 at about 9 a.m. (showing) the local paired swans parading their young. How awesome is the lake life? Side note: we just moved here to retire on the lake. Not regretting this decision at all!!

–Mary Arnold

Congratulations on your retirement, Mary! And yes, indeed, the lake is a most unregrettable environment.
