Open House


We've returned to the lake. It's time to get the cabin ready for the season, which is always a big job but worth the effort. This will be the 51st summer enjoyed by the lakeside. My children have fond memories of fishing, swimming, running around with neighbor kids. In the early years there was a dance hall within walking distance, so Grandma would keep an eye on the kids while my late husband and I would go dancing. It wasn't unusual to see lots of little faces glued to the windows while they watched the dancers. Those days are gone now but we still enjoy the serenity---the pelicans gliding by, the birds busy building their nests, the quiet, star-filled nights.
