In five days we will turn left off of state route 131 onto Brierley Road in Searsmont, Maine. We will drive down the curving dirt road for about a mile until we arrive at Loon Landing. We will slowly emerge from the car after a two day, 14 hour road trip, bones cracking with each aching step. The first thing we will do, before unpacking anything is walk around to the lake side of the house, because we want to get our first look at this…
It was last fall when we last stood on this spot. So much has happened since then. I’ve retired. Pam has retired. We have a beautiful new grandson. But this place still holds our hearts with a tender grip.
For six weeks this lake will be our home. It will not disappoint. It never does. Just ask Lucy. She thinks that this is what heaven looks like.
She may be right.
