diamonds on the soles of her shoes

today we pack up and head home to the city.  back to work.  that's okay.  i miss the kids, i miss my city home, i want to drive to montreal to see the babies, bluesfest is starting and there are concerts to go to. 

what about life at the cottage will i miss the most?  the solitude and quiet, absolutely, but most of all i will miss the person i am at the cottage.  i don't do my hair, i cook like i am a chef, i wear the same clothes over and over, with not a care about my appearance.  i figure i if i have a tan i look fabulous in anything!  i will miss the way we decompress, how we can read eight books in two weeks, waking up before six and sitting on the dock with coffee, reading.  the music!  why is it only at the cottage that we lie on the couch and listen to music for hours?  

at the lake, i am the girl with diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

I think we all need a cottage where we can be free to wear diamonds on our shoes. sounds like a wonderful time, Margie.

So glad you had time to relax and enjoy! Love the "diamonds" in your shoes!

Paul Simon, Graceland, the soundtrack to our cottage times together. As soon as I read the title I was transported back to the cottage at Nangor, sweeping wooden floors, wearing a bathing suit and rubber gloves washing dishes and tidying up before we hit the beach. Got a little gulp in my throat.

Graceland is one of my all time favorite albums (album--does that date me or what!). I love those times you describe. How free...relaxed...in the moment! Wish we could all live like that.
