Country Grove Cottages..by Michael

10 Years Ago


Larry recalled a day camp his parents used to take him to many years ago. It was during those years of growing up as a kid into his teens. The biggest fond memory was when he was eighteen years old. That was what made him decide to go back to this summer resort to relive those treasured moments. The now thirty five year old drove the hour and a half as he checked into Country Grove Cottages. About an hour after dinner, he walked to that special place which used to make him smile. A field of grass about a 100 yards away from the main hotel. The stones were still there in a circular fashion as he remembered the lit campfires with roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over an open fire. It was when he was only eighteen and she was sixteen, that they both became first time boyfriend and girlfriend, eventually young lovers. Larry unpacked his nap sack with a few hot dogs he had brought with him. He found some twigs to put them on and started to roast his first hot dog. Laura recalled a day camp her parents used to take her to many years ago.  It was during those years of growing up as a kid into her teens. The biggest fond memory was when she was sixteen years old. That was what made her decide to go back to this summer resort to relive those treasured moments. The now thirty three year old drove the hour and a half as he checked into Country Grove Cottages. She walked to that special place which used to make her smile. Laura didn't have to search for any twigs for the hot dogs she brought with her. Larry shared the ones he had found....Maybe we have the urge to visit a place we used to love. Fate had former lovers do it at the same time. Case in point in a short love story about Larry and Laura, where it all started and ended, plus continued at Country Grove Cottages.....
