Behind the dark boards
a roaring fire warmed us
those days long ago

 Generations played
cards; ante up, fifteen cents
while lasagna baked

 The haunted cabin
around the corner scared us
entering our dreams

A snow packed staircase
made it easy for our dog
A view from the roof

I have fond memories of our cabin
from my childhood.
It wasn’t fancy or huge, but very, very cozy. 
The best of times were spent playing games indoors,
hiking, tobogganing and sledding.
The last time I saw it, the windows were boarded
and I don’t have any old photos. 
It was sad to see it that way,
but it’s good to have the wonderful memories
in mind of our fun mountain get-a-ways
that included family and friends.  ♥
