The Lake House
The lake house was a two-story weatherboard that leaned slightly to the left, as if the wind off the water had been pushing it for decades. Grandpa bought it in the seventies when land out there cost almost nothing. By the time we were old enough to remember, the paint was peeling and the screen door never quite closed, but none of that mattered. The jetty out the back was half-rotten but we'd still fish off it every afternoon, catching nothing and caring less. Nights were the best part. We'd drag the old couch cushions onto the veranda and lie there counting satellites.
Every summer we’d pack the car before dawn. Dad always insisted on making his terrible coffee first. The drive took three hours but felt like minutes with the windows down and the radio on. We’d pull up to the lake house just as the sun hit the water, and Mum would already be planning lunch before we’d even unpacked. The kids would run straight to the dock.
