Sensational Strawberry Limoncello Martini Cocktail. I love it as much as this watermelon drink.
Every now and then it is a blessing to see the view from Will's Bench through someone else's lens and heart. Today's photos are from a dear friend and one who William loved very much. Thank you, Liz, for stopping by Lake Elise on Memorial Day weekend and sharing these photos with all of us.

Heart shaped initial rock from Will's favorite spot in the Adirondaks.

As she sat a fish came to visit---the perfect sign from him.

And for Julia, his "little sister" this celebration drink is for you. You are as sensational as this Sensational Strawberry Limoncello Martini Cocktail. Congratulations baby girl on a job well done at Washington & Lee. I know William would have been super proud of you and all your accomplishments. Cheers! "Oh, the places you will go" ~ Dr. Seuss
