Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I'm packing up for a week at the cabin, and, as usual, I'm not quite sure what's up there and what needs replacing, so I will make a list up there for the next time, when I know for sure what is necessary.  We leave nothing in the refrigerator over the winter, because the power goes off and on with the winter storms, so except for dry goods, we have to start over each spring or summer.  This year there was so much snow we weren't inclined to go up, because we are a little old for trudging up the road in five feet of snow.  But now the lake is up, the wildflowers must be spectacular this year, and I, personally, am ready for heat.  I've bought a new shovel and pail for our three and a half year old grandson, lots of sunscreen, a big, colorful ball, and I can't wait.  We have a lot of history after over thirty years owning the cabin.  Our youngest was four when we bought it from an insurance policy my father left when he died.  It's the best use of money I ever spent.  I love the trees, the lake, the smell of pine, the canoe gliding through the water, the movies outside, the ranger talks, the whole nine yards.  I'm a lucky duck.
