Each year we try to remember how many years we have been spending a long weekend together at Odell. We do recall the first year we were there with a smaller version of our family, Emma, Meggie and Simon, going up to spend the day with our friends. The weather turned blizzardly and we ended up spending the night in the lodge, all electricity down. Leo was teaching at the time and had to call in absent by pay phone the next morning. It was a great time! So, my guess is Simon was a year and we have been renting the same two cabins for 16 years. It is the vacation of the year for our kids.
Another year, another birthday for Lydia. She turned 10 this year and wanted roller skates for her big day. Most often her birthday is celebrated at Odell. It is fun for all of us. Lydia, oh Lydia, such a gem. She is one of a kind and we can only imagine how terribly boring it would be without her. She adds passion and lots-oh-love to all of our lives.
