Cottage

My Mom and her boyfriend bought a cottage near a lake, and I spent my days off visiting them out there. This isn't a cottage in the woods; it's a cottage on a golf course. And everyone zips around in their golf carts (whether they're golfing or not) and waves at everyone else. It's just a big happy community. I felt uncomfortable with all the friendliness, and I suppose that makes me the snob from the city who's too introverted to wave at the bypassers...

It's a beautiful place though. It's still under some construction, and I was struck by the variety of dwellings filling the lots - from mansions to trailers on the same street. It's strange when my family becomes one that owns summer property. They said I can use it whenever I want to!
