Bright green, soft, squishy and cool, the grass leading to
the bank feels wonderful between my toes. I usually close my eyes and turn my
face up to the sun’s warmth, listening to the rush of the water. The closer to
the edge of the water, the cooler everything gets. By the time my toes are in
the water lapping gently onto the bank, the temperature has dropped down at
least ten degrees. The water is always ice cold, but in the summers it’s
euphoria to jump into the Cartecay.
The Quandt Family’s cabin in Ellijay is one of my favorite
places in the world, and I hope that anyone reading this is able to understand
just why I love it there so much. I love the river, the large, hill of a yard
and just the peaceful area. The cabin is a place I go when I need to get away
from the world. I can live life without the iPhones and TV shows that everyone
seems to have as an extension of their hand these days. I can be myself and
enjoy life’s simplest things for a weekend.
