Grannie's lake house has been the family getaway for a good long time now. We'd pack as many as 25 people in the four-bedroom cottage for the Fourth of July festivities. What fun that was. All the adults pitched in to help in various ways -- cooking, cleaning, taking people out on the boat, playing with kids, attending to household fix-it needs, etc.
While there were no boat rides this weekend and we didn't have 25 people staying under our roof, the same "many hands make light work" principle applied. Among other things, my beloved manned the grill. My dad put himself on KP. Last night my sister made the breakfast casserole for this morning's brunch. My mom picked up last minute groceries. Grannie held the raven-haired lass as much as the wee one would allow her to before returning to me for some resetting. Several of us chased after bambini on tricycles.
As Grannie is at the lake, we might have been the hosts, but (at least we hope) everyone's at home here.
