Hidden in a wooded area with a lakefront view, our first stay in Maine was what I first thought was at a renovated fisherman’s shack I found on Airbnb. Nope. It was part of The Megunticook Camps. I imagine, if some of these pines could talk, that they would recount stories of many kids squealing as they jumped into the cool lake waters as an escape from the heat sometime between 1906 and 1934!
The inside was much roomier than it looked from the front with an entrance into a living room, a well-equipped kitchen that was perfect for our breakfast before days of exploration, and a cozy bedroom and bathroom.
I fell in love with all the whites and Lake House touches.
wanderlust: n., a desire to explore & travel the world Hmm. I think pillows are much smarter than we think they are. I think the Peachey’s are experiencing some wanderlust.
I mean….who can keep their feet from wandering down to the dock and having coffee when you have serene views like this?! The quiet lapping of the water and tinny sounds of the sail mast being moved by the gentle breeze while sitting Adirondack style was the definition of peaceful solitude.
Our marriage has been far from serene, more like a white water rafting trip than a canoe ride in a placid lake, but I am so grateful to have my best friend, my loyal man, beside me celebrating twenty years together.
I’m glad I still make him “laugh like the Millers” after all these years. His mother was a Miller and they are known for a belly laugh that’s so big it forces you to throw your head back. And no…I can’t tell you what I said that made him laugh. I think the Miller’s would respect that some things are better left unrepeated….however funny.
The sounds of gently lapping water onto the rocks and dock with the occasional haunting call of the loons as the skyline transformed into incredible shades of sunset. Absorbing this tranquil scene together reminded me of how much undeserved favor I feel God constantly heaping upon me. It becomes greater and greater….this mind-blowing evidence that God delights in giving good gifts to His children and that I am one of his beloved.
I am awed.
