Norman (Roger Boss), a crotchety curmudgeon and his
adoring wife Ethel (Nancy Nickerson) relive the wonder of years past
while capturing each glorious present moment summering at the family
cottage on a lake.
Arriving at the family cabin that holds memories of two generations,
Ethel Thayer examines a much treasured doll from her childhood.
Ever efficient and responsible, patriarch Norman Thayer takes care
of making sure the landline to the remote cabin is functioning as he
speaks with the local operator (Jill Voyles ).
One of the first special moments the couple shares is
the excitement of seeing the loons. You can almost imagine the
haunting call of the loons.

day unfolds, you come to understand the depth of love for family
created over many years, and how this couple celebrates the wonders
found in each day while leaving room for personal differences.
