In finishing the previous post that I started in June, I came across a quote that struck me as fitting in with my feelings of Lake George (stories of which I have just begun to tell). I have said that when we were in Lake George, I felt like our family was at it's best. It was our home away from home. This is the feeling Lake George gave me then and still gives me now. It is also the kind of home I hope I am raising my children in:

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson

I think it's a beautiful quote. What do you think?
