We were recently invited to a little cabin up near the resort of Tamarack to take some family pictures. The little cabin is bigger than most people’s homes, and was the nicest home I’ve ever been in, hands down. I was absolutely amazed at how well the cabin was designed, built, and furnished. And it’s even more amazing when you realize that it was designed and built by the owners. I was too slack-jawed to think about getting any shots of the house to show off here, but many of the pictures were taken indoors, so you can catch some of the cabin in the backgrounds of those shots. Here’s a picture of George, the madman behind the cabin’s design and construction.

This is his lovely wife, Susan.

And here is the whole family.

The girls tell me that they all got to have input into the design and furnishing of the cabin, so it was a really great family project.

I’m not sure I know of any other family where everyone will be laughing practically the entire time.

It was a great idea to use this old car in the pictures. It has a lot of character, and somehow it seems to match that of your family.

Although I don’t know the history of that car, it almost seemed like it was a part of the family, too.

Thank you for your kindness and your giving hearts.
