The Lake house

My feet were numb from the frigid water as we heaved the heavy supports up onto the break wall. Why my mother insisted on waiting until the very last minute to take out the dock for the season was a mystery to me. Yet year after year, my brothers and I stood in the freezing water preparing to close up the cottage for the winter, while Mom stood on the back porch, ensuring everything was put away exactly where she wanted it.

"Edward, when are you gonna finally learn to wear the damn waders?" Emmett joked, laughing at my misery.
