The subject line on the e-mail in my inbox read: “Sale Creek Water Lilies.”
“Oh boy,” I thought to myself, “another backyard garden photo.”
To my surprise – and delight – the attached digital photo was a group portrait of seven middle-age women reclining in blue and yellow inner tubes in the shallow waters of Chickamauga Lake – aka the Water Lilies.
Each woman had a red flower behind one ear. Some were clutching wine glasses. It was a carefree, late-summer moment among girlfriends. One can almost imagine the whoops and giggles as someone suggested sharing this snapshot with the media. (See Page E7).
The Water Lilies, I would learn, are an informal exercise club in an upscale lake community called Regatta Point in Sale Creek.
