Visiting our family cabin in mid May was unusual for as I don't care for the rain. This weekend however the weather was going to be quite warm. Pulling into the drive of the cabin, I noticed the red haze in the sunset. I paused for a moment and took in the lovely view out over the lake. The evening air was quite warm as I approached the door, chipmunks ran from my path.
Leaving the door open I went to find the power box and turn on the breakers. I went about the cabin checking the windows and back door, the cabin seemed to be as we left it. Finally I sit down in the recliner so I can look out the sliding glass doors. The last rays of sunshine reflecting off the smooth water. Sipping the wine from my glass, I hear a few birds chirping in the breeze.
Laying my head back against the chair, I close my eyes to rest them from the long drive. I open my eyes to see the total darkness after a short nap. I flip on the lamp and head for the bedroom, pulling back the covers. The tight smooth sheets felt so good as I slipped in, wear only my boxers. I was soon fast asleep with nothing to worry about for the next week.
The chirping of the morning birds awake me as the sun climbs into the sky. A quick shower, a bite to eat and I am headed down to the lake. Walking down the path I see some of the wooden blocks in the steps along the path need to be replaced. The fresh morning air wakes my senses as I breathe in deep. The small waves brushing the shoreline n the morning breeze.
I walk for twenty minutes or so down the shore line and see lovely woman sitting on rock looking out over the lake. Walking closer I greet her from a distance so I do not startle her. She turns to me and I watch her eyes glance me up and down. Her smile is so appealing, my mind races with thoughts of what to say. "How are you this fine morning Ma'am? My name is Jim." I ask as I stop close by her side. "I have had better days, my name is Sandra. The view and fresh air here make me feel so much better." she says.
I look around and do not see anyone else. "You here all alone, or do you have family or friends here?" I ask. She looks up at me and says "I am here alone at our family cabin, just over the ridge there." I pause and think. "Well if you are not too busy this evening I could use some company for dinner. My cabin is just down the beach this way." I say as I point behind me. "Oh you mean the large cabin on the hillside in cove there?" she asks. "Yes that is the one. I am just out for a morning walk. Would you care to join me?" I said with hesitation.
She stood up and straightened her shorts with hands and a jiggle of her hips. "Sure I could use some company." she said as we walked further down the shoreline. We chatted about the new cabins and new roads that been built in the past few years. I turn to look at her just as she trips or a small rock. I reach out and take hold of her arm, preventing her from falling. We pause for a few moments to ensure she is ok. "We should head back, I have some cleaning to do." I tell her.
We walk back a short distance and she stops. "I must go this way to my cabin. What time shall I come over this evening?" she asks. Not wanting it to be too early or too late, I tell her around five would be good. I watch as she walks away, her tight shorts showing the bounce of each cheek. Her smooth legs shinning as she walks toward the morning sun. Her long hair blowing softly in the light breeze. She soon disappears into the trees, down a lightly worn path.
Back at my cabin I move about straightening things out and dusting. Resting in the recliner I watch the birds battle each other in the clean mountain air. Turning on the radio I hear songs from years past and bring back many memories. I soon had to decide on what to make for dinner, and impress this lovely woman. The short drive to the local store was much as I remembered it, with a few new cabins. Salad and steaks sounded good as I pushed the small cart through the store.
Searching through the store I noticed the selection of wines. This was new to the stores as I couldn't recall wine here before. Placing a couple bottles and bag a charcoal in my cart I head for the check out. It was definitely getting warmer as I took off my sweater at the car. Driving back I watched many animals moving about. Back at the cabin I checked all the dishes and silver wear in preparation. A couple seasonings on the steaks and the salad and fixings cut, I head for the recliner.
