This blog is
dedicated to my friends from Williams Lake, YOUR CITY IS BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU!!!
Williams
Lake, a small city with blessed surrounding and landscape. The city is bustling
with different colors of diverse culture. For some it may not matter that they
live next to a beautiful lake, but for me nature is everything and living next
to a lake is like a dream come true. People have undivided opinion about
Williams Lake, which I don’t care about, I love the city and that is all.
That was a
perfect day in Williams Lake, it was drizzling. I drove to a higher location
and hiked a little to enjoy the spectacular view of the beautiful lake. After
that I went to enjoy some country music at the concert, really nice and
intoxicating tunes (even the name of the singer was Whiskey Jane). It was
raining that night, but I didn’t saw anybody doing the rain dance. Everyone had
their cow boy hats and boots on. Long boots remind me of my close friend all
the time. I am thinking about her even right now.
The city
gave me a lot of memories to cheer about – seeing a friend after 2 years and
don’t know what to talk about, a walk around Scout Island while eating DQ
blizzard, breakfast next to the lake, two benches at the top of a tiny hill,
spectacular view engraved in my head, the lukewarm breeze, unexpected rain
droplets kissing my skin, using sky as a canvas and drawing pictures from
clouds, and the horse race down the hill and the whole rodeo show. I don’t know why I love this city, I have been to
so many other cities, but the feeling I felt there I have not felt anywhere else.
I guess that was a perfect day to visit cities like WL or maybe I love the city
because two of my very close friends are from this city. All these memories are
coming back to my mind and I am feeling like I am in Williams Lake. There are other reasons why I love the city,
but I cannot describe them in words.
There are
some bitter memories as well like a flat tire and unavailability of replacement
tire, almost hit a deer, getting a speed ticket - damn tail-gater, non-availability of hotel
room, but all this makes the trip all the more adventurous. I have no regrets
all the trouble to get to Williams Lake worth it, I will do it all over again
and again. When you see a friend after years you forget everything and the
feeling is indescribable. It brings back all the memories when your friend was
near you and the time you spend with them. Every moment was priceless!!
I love the
house near the lake and wish to own a house there in future! And
you are welcome to stay at my future house. The door sign of my future house
will read like “Friends, Smiles, and Laughter are always welcome” :)
Sometime
small things about a particular city make us going back there again and again. My
reason to go back to this city is to relive every moment I spent there on 29th
June evening!!!
