1940s Lake Champlain Dress

Isn't It Romantic.

You wore this dress in another life.

1949, Lake Champlain. Stone cottages. A gazebo by the lake.

Impromptu gatherings. Endless strawberry shortcake. Oceans of lemonade.

Fast boats. Languid moods. Stolen kisses. Big band dancing.

In a month, summer will repatriate everyone back to city life, locks, reservations at Le Pavillon.

Right now, things are simpler. Most nights, the moon rolls a silver carpet across the lake. Up here, the stars seem to sink lower, closer, brighter.

Each evening, you dance under the gazebo just a little while longer than the night before.
