23 Summers and Counting

434 

I think this photo was taken our second summer up at the cabin.

This photo was taken our 23rd summer at the cabin.

A lot has changed, we have all aged several years along with the cabin (which was built around 1918).

This year’s photo is a pretty bitter sweet photo for a couple reasons…

1. My brothers and I are missing our significant others

2.This is the last photo that will ever be taken of all of us in front of this cabin

It is exciting to think about all the memories that are waiting to take place in the new cabin.  It will be so great to have space to spread out, to have bathrooms that can accommodate more than a couple people, to be able to do laundry, dishes and showers all in one day, to have floors that are level and windows that open and close, to have a refrigerator that doesn’t hum and front doors that don’t slam… but truth be told it is a little sad to think about going to the lake without experiencing some of these quirks, as we have become rather accustomed to them over the past 25 summers spent at that cabin.  So many memories have taken place both inside and outside of these four walls…it really is one of my favorite places in the entire world!

I am left wondering what our 33rd, 43rd and even 53rd summer photos might look like?

Oh happy memories!

Happy Sunday.

Be blessed.
