Cabin Memories



I am truly going to miss the cabin, I just wanted to jog down a few of my memories. I was 16 when Granddaddy bought the cabin, I learned to drive driving up there. I remember the first time Blaine went up with me, my college roommate Michelle was with me and he caught a bat in the cabin, lol. Granddaddy added on so we had lots of room. I remember taking the kids up there for a week one summer, at night we would build a campfire and sit around it telling ghost stores. The kids loved to hike, lift up logs and find lizards and snakes, we would bring Tasha our dog and she loved to chase the ducks at the pond. I remember taking up lots of the kids friends for birthday parties and snow days. We would bring up the Young Women, the Young Men, Highland's choir and the Scouts. At one point it was the scouts favorite camping spot. I remember the kids sleeping in sleeping bags out on the balcony. One year we went up and some of the kids slept out in the suburban. It snowed heavy overnight and they couldn't see out the window. We made a tradition of going up on Veteran's Day every year, cousin Sally would come and Richard and his friend Jimmy. The kids always brought friends. I remember Terrell falling head first down the stairs in the middle of the night, he wasn't hurt badly but it sure was funny listening to the kids tell it over and over. I remember Blaine driving so fast he made kids that never get car sick throw up in the car. Some memorable ones that threw up in our Van or just out the door were Kenny Ricks, Meaghan Jackson, Ammon Rassmussen, Tiffny Buie, and a few others that I can't remember their names, lol. I remember Devonn and Adam staying up all night playing cards, and brother Carson falling asleep on the chair by the fire. I remember playing oldies on the radio and Bro. Beesely having a dance party with the young women. I remember the highlight of the cabin being the hot tub. We would enjoy the snow till we were numb then go jump in the hot tub. I have so many many pictures but will only post a few. I will miss the cabin but will always have my memories.
