First night

Dad sold the C * C · 05-03-2014, 09:49 PM

First night on Winnisquam

Came up to the new camp at 8am
Stopped at "Orange store" and bought a new (just heard a loon) tool or two
Learned how to remove knotty pine paneling
Looked in the walls, relayed the good news to the Electrician

Decided to try My luck and turn on the water
( raining will leave the deck and go in)
I hear peepers

So cool watching lights on the water
I feel blessed to be "on the water"
Really need to go in

OK I'm inside ( is it colder in here)
Water went ok.. I didn't have to put on a bathing suit
Another trip to "Orange store" and all is good..
..well.. Mostly, Hey it's a cabin

Sooooo I got done around 4 and said..
An adult beverage is in order
So that means. ( really; is phyco killer on the radio) no more tools and no car
"Hi Honey", pause......... Explain all the work you did
".....so, I think I'm going to spend the night at the Cabin"

So, first night at the "new too us" cabin
I got a box of Munchkin's, bag of chips, a sub and sum't'n to drink
A radio, iPad and sleeping bag. I'm good

Please excuse the "stream of consciousness"
I just like to write this way sometimes

Enjoy it!

There is a feeling of being one with a place that comes on over time. Don't blink!
