These are the memories of the author's growing up during the 1930's and 1940's, centering on her paternal grandmother and her beloved camp on the St. Lawrence River. It was a time of both stress and mirth, but always one of hospitality. The author is a retired certified Clinical Specialist in Mental Health Nursing and lives with her husband and dog in Vale, NC overlooking the South Mountains. She is currently writing a book about their much loved cocker spaniel Barkley.
