WATER: Sweet in summer

I have lived in Coeur d’Alene for 45 years and I love the water! From hiking Tubbs Hill many many times to swimming at Sanders Beach and the dyke road with my children (and now my grandchildren), whenever the temps get above 85 degrees, you will find me jumping in. I can be feeling grumpy, and a dip in the water turns things around for me. It is the best attitude adjuster!
