This is NOT a photo of my kitchen, but it could be.
Let me be honest. The cottage offers me a unique opportunity to experience the 3S’s--one that can’t be repeated at home. Take today, for example. What could I possibly have done for two hours in the kitchen this evening when I got home? You know how it goes--- I made brownies, washed lettuce and made a simple salad, heated up a casserole, took twenty minutes and ate supper with my husband, washed the dishes (he did the plates and silverware), scrubbed a few pots and pans, cut the brownies and put them on a platter, threw in a load of laundry and kept checking to be sure the pipes hadn’t frozen.... Whew, I’m exhausted just writing about it, and I’m aware that I have more possible free time than many of you reading this blog.
How do we get some “cabin time" in the midst of our busy lives? A friend has decided to take one day a week, which she envisions as her "cabin day” from the moment she wakes up until she turns out the light at night. This friend works at home as a free lance editor and although she can manage her own time, she often feels that she never leaves the office.
“Just making this decisions gives me a feeling of freedom. And I don’t feel as jealous of your cabin by the sea,” she tells me.
