Today I visited the lakehouse. We have spent many Christmas eves, celebrations, hiking and ice skating here. There is a golf course nestled in the trees in the background. The lakehouse is the hub of our community.
It's hard to believe that we stand and skate on this very spot in the winter months. Today, there are birds flitting in the air and ducks gliding about the rippled, glassy surface of the lake. Off in the distance folks have hung up their ice skate and snow shoes and drug out the canoes and paddle boats. Yes, this is the lakehouse. I wonder why in the winter months, people do not call the icehouse??? Sort of like how you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway. Funny how our language is. Maybe we could settle the confusion and just call this gathering place a cabin!
