I so regret not being able to get Up North this year.
I want to smell the lakes - and clean air.
I want to stroll pathways.
I want to watch waves - lake waves.
I want to see Claudia.
I want to see birch trees.
I want to eat white fish...and drink good wine.
I miss it all.
I think I may have to plant a cluster of birch trees on the new property.
Too bad I can't plant a Claudia!
I'm just gonna have to go next year!
