Here are two of my favorite photos from the cabin—mostly because of the conversations surrounding them.

Grampa keeps a step stool in the basement; Owen was certain it was for his own convenience. He took several liberties as he checked out the new space, and he was astonished when he opened this styrofoam box.

Gramma reminded me that previous generations of grandkids were strongly advised against playing with the minnows. When I mentioned this to Grampa, he said something along the lines of, “Nothing catches fish like stressed out bait.”

I know I’ve heard that before somewhere in the last 36 years…probably as I stood in exactly the same place.
