And of course, breathe in the magnificent sky. And yes, I'd be birding too.

I only realized how lucky I was after I grew up and moved away. <br /><br />We lived only a few minutes from Annapolis when we lived in Maryland. I remember when landlords raised the rents and so many of the unique shops Vicks no longer afford to stay. The Gap and Banana Republic moved in. I haven't been back in over thirteen years. We are planning a visit. I wonder what it's like now.Bella Rumhttp://bellarum.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-2493665314586226842015-06-02T01:29:15.747-04:002015-06-02T01:29:15.747-04:00what a special spot and the sunsets.

It's been years since I've been back but just reading yor post fills my senses and heart with memories. The sunsets were always fabulous. And the late late nights on the beach with campfires, song and silly stories. The scent of my grandmothers fresh bread. Making pies with my her after hours of picking blackberries and blueberries. Rowing, swimming, reading, hours of cards and board games. It was idyllic. We were so lucky. Thanks for the memories, Jeanie. Don't know when I'll be back but someday. Our cottage is still in our family. One of the very few I think, like yours. It was built by my great-grandfather. I still have such a sense of connection to that place.

I used to always lose at Scrabble when I played my brother (even when he tried to help me out) and was determined to beat him one day, so I made a point of playing as much as possible. I even have a Scrabble game for the computer, so I can practice. It turned in to an addiction - I admit it - but it was worth it, because the last time I played my brother I beat him in every round we played.Victoria Ziglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872256336482196922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-24405213976578593522015-05-28T12:00:30.374-04:002015-05-28T12:00:30.374-04:00What a beautiful place and such wonderful memories...What a beautiful place and such wonderful memories! :) I'm glad Lizzie goes with you.

When you describe your childhood memories at the lake, it reminds me of my childhood as my grandparents had a cabin and 3 of their 4 kids were there almost every weekend so I got to spend a lot of time with my cousins. Now my parents have a cabin of their own and my nephews and nieces get to experience all those 'lake memories' with their cousins. <br /><br />I went through a phase where I wanted more 'action and excitement' at the lake but in my early 20s I quickly grew to appreciate the peace and quiet of my parents cabin. My favorite is the early morning hours when not many people are up, the sun is rising, and the lake is like glass. Ahhhh, that is just so good for the soul. :)Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-72944170501817438112015-05-27T17:32:17.433-04:002015-05-27T17:32:17.433-04:00You have a peaceful place to visit and enjoy all N...You have a peaceful place to visit and enjoy all Nature's beauty, Jeanie.
