Wew...a full week! Reminds me of a similar experience - a week away in a rustic cabin my Dad bought with fishing buddy's in my childhood. No electricity, water from a hand pump - inside the cabin, block ice in a small box frig and NO TV. In the day we swam, fished from a row boat and picked wild raspberries. Mom made bean hole beans (dug a hole in the sand and got stones and sand fired up hot, buried the beans in a crockpot and let it cook 24 hours, stoking the fire till done.) Fire grilled fish- pike and ? sunfish, maybe. Cream and sugar covered raspberries made everyone happy. Looking back now, I think vacations like this and others were the happiest for the family. Yes...just pure nature. Thanks for giving me these moments to revisit my past. Cheers!
