Up North....where my generous Aunt and Uncle own a "cabin" (3 bedroom home) on a lake bordered on all sides by a national forest. May we stay for a week? "Of course" They say. "No charge". We bring a small gift to them that no where near covers the gift they give to us by letting us use their house, dock, canoes, 4-wheeler, kayaks, lifejackets, and pine smelling air.
Up North.....where Craig can "get away" from the demands of work and really let the inner hillbilly out.....
Up North.....where the U-pick raspberry stand is outside the door and free of charge.
Up North....where time both stand stills and moves at lightening speed as hours go by with fishing, catching snails, dipping feet in the water (a little cold for swimming this year) and chatting
Up North: Where we talk about nothing and everything at the same time.
Up North....where an adventure awaits only a canoe ride away.....across the lake and into the forest!!
Up North....where hours are spent trying out new tactics for catching fish and even more time is spent running and playing in the woods next to the lake.
Up North....where a new skill can be learned.....
And someone gains confidence to head out on their own a bit.
Up North....where we have the whole morning to ourselves exploring a new area filled with rocks, waterfalls, and trees.
Up North....where imaginations construct crude fishing poles out of sticks and catch 5 perch and bluegill!!
We have some great memories from our time here this past July. It equally crawled by and sped quickly. I look forward to our next trip there.
