It’s been a crazy week but I couldn’t help but sit down today and scour through dozens of property listings, dreaming of a beautiful vacation home on the water somewhere. I know, it’s crazy – we’re years and years away from being able to do something like this. But I always think it’s important to continue dreaming (and I love to dream big). I keep picturing a large cabin on a lake, the kids out water skiing and tenting in the summer, fresh towels wrapped around them each when they’re chilly from swimming. I can picture my boys throwing rocks into the water off the dock and roasting marshmellows in a firepit. I also love dreaming about the fun they would have to bring their friends for a visit and have such fun parents!
I can also imagine huge family gatherings with all the little ones having tons of space to run and play and explore. A tree house, a rope swing, a garden of yummy berries and fruit trees, and don’t forget a hammock for restfully relaxing and reading a book. I shudder to think of the last time I took a break out to read. That would be lovely.
What’s your Big Dream? What’s your idea of your perfect summer home? I’d love to hear!
I can totally jump right into that “dreaming” mode! It’s like taking a trip without ever leaving home…
I love the picture I see in my head of this wonderful little acreage with lots of trees, a big firepit, a beautiful garden full of fresh vegetables, flower beds dotting the landscape here and there, a pasture to one side with some horses grazing, a wonderful old fashioned swing hung from the branch of a big old tree, the grandkids riding bikes along the roadway with Bailey chasing them and having so much fun, the smell of fresh-baked cookies coming from the kithen, and so on and so on!! Ah, that was so fun, just dreamin’ a dream!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow, fun! It sure is nice to day dream about stuff like that.
I am fortunate enough to live where more then half the homes are vacation homes. But I aint swimmin’ in this water at my doorstep!! Yikes! Lol!
There are many lakes on here (this island) though, a few sizes and temps. And some of the best rope swings ever. Not that I jump on them anymore. Lol.
I use to day dream about being here, so much so I snuck on to this exact property, and moved to this island to be closer to it, and snuck lots more.
I don’t have to sneak anymore.
