Deda, words just seem to flow from your heart and your mind to conjure up memories of beautiful times past. There is never a more peaceful time than one on the lake in the early morning hours.

After a tense day in the city. the weight of the world would just leave my shoulders when I would crest the mountain at Bat Cave, heading to a weekend at the lake. In the winter months, crossing the dam I could see on the hill, the smoke I knew was coming from the cabin and knew I was almost home!

Thank you for awakening these wonderful memories

At around that same time in life, I remember coming to work early as a rec field crafts teacher, to open the little crafts house before the day began.
