CAMP OUR HAVEN

I spent this weekend in a spot that feels like a safe haven, our camp. Let me tell you a little about it.
Camp is about thirty minutes from my house but it feels almost a different Country. It is on a beautiful river and has everything a person would need only there is no electricity, or phone.
Very quite and loudest noise is the river running past it.
There are trees every where and one large oak tree in corner of property(My personal favorite. Birch, fir, poplars, and of course pine trees. Which of course attracts loads of beautiful birds.
I am so jumping ahead of myself as usual. First I must tell you the story of how we found this spot this summer. We headed out one evening following a trail that had four camps for sale and came to a spot in road that had a for sale sign on it so down the lane we went, came to a horrible camp that looked like it was ready to fall down so we continued down the lane and suddenly realized that we were in someone's lane. A lady came running out of the camp when we were turning I quickly appologized and told her we were looking for camps that were for sale. She quickly informed us (my husband and I) that it was for sale but not listed yet. She invited us in, right than her husband arrived and suggested that he take my husband to look at the other camps while I looked at that one. My eyes must have poped out of my head when I walked in I knew right there and than that this was it, what we had been looking for five years for . In my head I started figuring out how we could finanically swing it while the pleasant lady made us a coffee. I was positive when I looked at my husband's eyes when he walked in they light up like Christmas bulbs. They had no phone so if we left and decided to take it we had no way of getting in touch with them other than driving out again which we did not have time for so I asked them if when they went to town on Monday if they would call us before they listed it . Than we left.
On the way home both of us babbled like two kids knowing in our hearts of hearts that it was the one. Over next two days we hashed over pros and cons and finally decided we would do it. Come Monday no phone call all a.m. and I was scared to death they wouldn't call. Finally about 1:30 p.m. phone rang it was the lady. I happily told her we were interested and she wanted to meet with us so we did and that very afternoon both lawyers set up agreement. Within two weeks it was ours .
Since that time we have spent every spare minute out there which isn't enough time as both are still working . I will be writing more on this in up coming months as it is the love of my life right now
