Where you are going (I'...Maybe you need this...<br />Where you are going (I'm already getting teary thinking about it) was built, by hand, by my grandfather and his friends in the 1950's. I started going to Charmyr (so named after my grandfather CHARles and my grandmother MYRtle--my g'pa, with only an 8th grade education, was a whiz with words and loved acronym-y constructions) --when I was just 3 weeks old. Every subsequent summer come Memorial Day we'd pack the Caprice Classic to the hilt and drive north for three months. I'd spend all day in the lake like a little fish, diving for rocks and snails and mussels. We'd ski, kneeboard, play gin, drink gin (well, not so much me), watch loons preen, fish, eat fish for brekkie, catch frogs, read, color, play marathon games of Monopoly, watch the diamonds of sunlight on the water. Stony Lake is the most important landscape of my life. Nothing can change that...A & N can only add to it, to the richness of the legacy I inherited and wish, so much, to share with those I love. It is a place of peace and magic and joy. You've got your posse at your back JJ--we're gonna have the time of our lives.forward hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688261349490219029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377149308801306604.post-86481467796395177002009-07-15T06:54:54.734-07:002009-07-15T06:54:54.734-07:00Sounds like you're going to have an awesome ti...Sounds like you're going to have an awesome time (your kids will be just fine...)
