LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
There are days in 2020 that I have to stop
and think what month it is. Anybody else
experience this? I mean now, with school back
in session and football (hopefully, fingers
crossed) getting ready to kick off, it’s a little
easier to tell... But, May, June and July were just
a jumbled up mess of days that I knew it was
summer but that was about it.
And there were times it was paint drying
slow and then BAM! Summer is over once
again.
My phrase for 2020 is “the world has gone
turtle” There are times that I feel like we are in
a bizarre reality and at any minute we could be
Pam Ewing waking up to Bobby in the shower.
(Yeah... I went old school for that pop culture
gem.)
But, all jokes and pop culture references
aside, 2020 has been nothing short of
interesting.
We have lost some amazingly fantastic
people this year. We have laughed and we have
cried. And, if you are like me, probably
screamed in frustration a time or twenty. But,
we have all adapted and for the most part
moved forward. Are there things I miss...
Absolutely. Are there things I have learned that
I can live without... yep!
I guess what I am trying to say is that we
continue to move forward and evolve and get
better.
While so many things have been taken
away, we felt it was important to continue our
Lake Wedowee Life Take Your Best Shot Photo
Contest and this year’s submissions didn’t
disappoint. Maybe it was because we were all
sheltering in place at the lake instead of our
respective primary homes.
Regardless of the reason I think we saw
some of the best sunsets, rainbows, pets and
people than ever before. But, then again, it
might be because we were forced to slow down
and enjoy the season.
Never the less, whatever the reason, thank
you to our readers for the continued support
not only of our photo contest, but also our
local businesses and Lake Wedowee Life itself.
If it were not for the readers and our
amazing advertisers, we would not be nearing
the end of our 12th year!
We hope you enjoy this look back at the
2020 lake season. It’s definitely one to
remember!
Enjoy Life
