Mink Island Sleeps

As we enjoy these holidays and this new year, our Mink Island has gone quiet and sleepy. It has returned to it's nature of so many millions of years without the river rats. We have the good fortune of having hundreds or thousands of memories that endear the place to us in a way no other place can. And it will bring us back as soon as reasonably possible. It's a form of love that really stays with us because it's the one thing that doesn't talk back or give us a hard time. It only gives itself and we have to do the rest. I'll bet you just can't wait.
