Memories
Only a one week rental in Wolfeboro, but so many great memories, mostly simple things....
-Actually one week before vacation - playing a game with my 9 year old where we take turns naming all the things we're looking forward to at the lake. The anticipation is almost as good as the real thing.
-Seeing the lake from Castle in the Clouds.
-Jumping off the raft with the kids, and floating around with not a care in the world.
-Seeing the kids enjoy themselves and thinking back to earlier years and realizing how much they've grown.
-Cramming the family into the front seat for the girls' first drive-in movie (mine, too, at 43).
-Relaxing on the screened porch nestled in the pines.
-A nice dinner on the back deck at Garwoods with a great sunset, and the waitress running half-way down Main Street to deliver a forgotten sweater.
-The incredible brass quintet from Maine at the bandstand.
-Ice cream sundaes at Morrissey's. Picturing my dad working the soda fountain there when he was in college in the early 50's.
-Quiet kayaking in the early morning on Winter Harbor, enjoying all the cottages and dreaming about owning one.
-In the other extreme, riding the fast mail boat Blue Ghost II and seeing the lake in a much different way.
-My family dancing together on the Mount cruise.
Can't wait til next year!
