This camp, or cabin, has been in the family since the second world war. Built by my husband's grandfather, it now houses his uncle and family during the summer months. I have always loved this cabin, and the tall white pine that guards its entrance. The pines of this stretch of lake shore are part of what give it the scent and sight that is now etched in my memory. When the wind blows, I can close my eyes and hear the ancient song of the pines. This camp, or cabin, has been in the family since the second world war.
