for mom

Mel, Jeff and I are always with you mom, and, mom, no matter where you are, you are with us. No matter how dark our day or night, you are still here. You told us you would be in the light. And you are mom. You are our light.

beloved mom, grandma, and great grandma

Lodge of the Four Seasons - Year 4

Another great winter weekend at the lake, there is something about the Lodge of the Four Seasons in the winter, something calming, peaceful, and solitary, something that keeps us coming back for more. Whether it's the wonderful spa, the lobby's crackling fireplace, the quietness of being pretty much deserted this time of year, having breakfast at HK's (and sometimes dinner too), or just driving around our usual spots and daydreaming of the day we hope to have our own place at the lake, no matter. We always have fun and look forward to the next year when we can do it all over again. Can't wait till Year 5!
