Summers at Lake Winnipesaukee
6:24In July 1987, we drove from Concord to my parents’ little summer cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee, in New Hampshire. Timmy was eight and Jessica had just turned five. I’d spent my own childhood summers there, and now they were racing down the same dock. Dad would pretend to grumble, “You two are scaring all my fish away!”
Jessica wanted to paddle the canoe herself, but mostly she sent us in circles. Mum called us in for supper from the porch, just as she had when I was little. We went back for two weeks every July. Those visits gave the children time with their grandparents that a Sunday lunch never could. To them it was a holiday; to me it was watching a place I loved become theirs, too.
