We have tried other cabins but always compare them to the solitude of this one. Nothing else comes close. I literally feel my body release tension as we make our way up the gravel road that leads us to this little piece of perfection. An entire weekend of peace without interactions with others is exactly what we crave each year for our anniversary. We booked the only weekend available before Christmas and prayed it wouldn't be too hot and steamy. It was incredible. It always is.
We keep dreaming of buying it some day, this little cabin in the woods. Retirement seems like a fairly irresponsible season in which to plan on residing away from civilization but perhaps after raising our family, slipping away is exactly how frivolous we should be.
The kids faired well without us and left us believing another weekend in the coming months might be reasonable. As we re-entered the work and school week, though, there was some trepidation. And exhaustion. It's going to take some time to readjust to the school year schedule and hustle.
I was required to take a furlough day and used it to meet my parents in Lexington. Celebrating my mom's birthday was an excellent use of a beautiful day. Decision makers have no idea how difficult their policies make the average school day. Assistants galavanting around Lexington are not wrangling squirrelly kiddos and this is usually an issue.
We loved the drop in temperatures this week and found ourselves resting on the deck in the evenings long after dinner. We facetimed with our very excited grandson to hear about school and a bee with whom he shared his snow cone. How sweet was that?
