From the Editor: Connecting

One of my favorite things about putting together each issue of Cabin Life is reading the latest “My Cabin” articles written by our readers from across the U.S. and Canada. And the two “My Cabin” pieces in the February 2014 issue are fantastic.

In “Dad’s Dream” (p. 18), Wendy Venoit writes beautifully about her father’s cabin legacy, a family retreat near the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border. And in Beth Nease’s article “A Distant Harmony” (p. 19), Beth writes with profound and moving insight about her family getaway in West Virginia. Thank you, Wendy and Beth!

Those articles are great reminders that the vacation-home lifestyle is all about connecting and reconnecting with family and friends, with nature, and with the best parts of ourselves.

So it’s natural that your Cabin Life editors – Julie, Emily and I – love it when you reach out to connect with us and your fellow readers. Today, there are so many ways to do that, including:

• Submit a “My Cabin” story and photos.

We hope to hear from you!
