I loved this episode! It’s nice to know that even people who are seasoned pros at their work get nervous. I remind myself of this whenever I feel imposter syndrome coming on!
Sarah’s dilemma of the family cabins really resonated with me. We had a family cabin on Lake Kabetogama (also Northern MN) – it was beautiful and, just as Sarah said, felt like a connection to generations. All the lake neighbors were the people my dad grew up with, though my family has lived in Arizona for over 35 years now. There was always lots of fishing, swimming, drinking beer from cans, and all the other great things about lake life in Minnesota.
My parents sold the cabin last year. It was too much for them to keep up as they age, and I live in Philadelphia so it just didn’t seem realistic for me to be able to take it over. I’m so sad not to have the little red cabin to return to (also, now I do not have a hideout for the zombie apocalypse… I especially liked having a place from which to swim to Canada if we had to!). I wish my kids had that connection. But alas – the plan is to keep making the pilgrimage every few years and rent a place instead. Maybe we’ll check out one of your places on Vermillion one summer. 🙂
