It's a rare thing to find yourself at the lake house alone. Usually when the entire family descends on Lake Tellico there are no less than nine or ten people and often quite a few more, sharing space in the one bedroom/one bathroom cabin that grandaddy built.
Last Monday Momma G, Grandmother (that's great-grandmother to you) and you and I went to the lake for a few days and did a whole lot of nothing productive. It was great. You entertained us day and night (a little too much during the night) and even managed to sit still long enough for grandmother to read you a book or two.
On Wednesday, Momma G drove Grandmother back to Knoxville and I found myself alone with you at the cabin. It was a little surreal to have the place to ourselves and so very quiet! Also it was one hundred and fifty two degrees. Because I can't touch the bottom of the lake from where we jump in I decided it was no place to take a baby who can't swim. So, we brought the lake to us and the cool water was so refreshing and delightful; your face says it all.
Today we're packing our bags and getting ready for your first ever beach trip! So many bathing suits, so little time!
