Lake Country-A slice of Heaven


I was just thinking the other day as I was working with this great horse, that Lake Country and specifically Oconomowoc, are really like a little slice of heaven. I remember when I was growing up as a kid that life seemed to be at a slower pace. We played outside (no video games), we invented things to do. People knew who you were and most things seemed to stay just the same year after year.
Well living in Lake Country is a little different that those 'fond memories' but when you think about it we live in a cool part of the county. There is so much to do out here. If you love horses, like I do, there are so many areas to trail ride with your favorite steed. If you are into biking (road bikes) there are so many back roads that you can ride for miles and miles on back roads or paved trails. If you just love the outdoors you can spend time hiking in one of the many county parks. Lake Country is truly unique and I love living here. The best kept secret though of our area are the people. Most are very friendly and willing to help out a neighbor or complete stranger. Sure there are the occasional self absorbed types who wouldn't lift a finger but they are not the norm. The friendly ones are and that is why Oconomowoc has been home for the past 20 years for our family.
