A charming two year old boy is sitting across from me. Dressed in a blue Levi Strauss t-shirt, he's playing with some an electronic game that spews out songs of hugs and kisses, potty training and wet diapers, and other cute kids songs. He doesn't stay in the seat for very long. Cousins call for him in the basement of the cottage and his brother wants to show him some more exciting toys.
Moments later, this little man comes back to stare at the rain pouring out over the lake. The dock remains empty, but the hopes of us actually getting out on the water today remain. The weather forecast says cloudy and partly rainy, but that doesn't stop the Lubbers family from getting together for a rare weekend away.
We were blessed with a weekend at a lovely cottage. The rustic wooden kitchen holds all thirteen of us - as we gather for meals of homemade pancakes with yogurt and berries, and other delicious menus. The sun room is where I'm choosing to relax, as I look out over the water and listen to the sounds of my family spending time together. Birch and maple trees surround the cottage as the Canadian flag proudly sways in the breeze above the dock. Most of the family has found a place to sleep in the cottage, but Kim and I are out in the bunky - a small cabin, just the right size for two single beds and a night stand.
I hear plans for lunch being made and the motor boat is finally being launched into the water. I think I shall go and join in the fun. Ciao for now.
