Time to wrap up vacation memories. The lake was lovely, the little 60+ year old cottages winsome and cozy, the company unsurpassed. But autumn is almost upon me, and it’s time to turn thoughts to apples mellow, pumpkins yellow. Blessings on these little homes and my daughter-in-law’s wonderful family who share them and all the lake toys, big and small, that go with them.
These little ones had magical poles. They caught a bright yellow fish EVERY SINGLE TIME
Except for the time Uncle was going to demonstrate casting, and caught a pine tree
The absolute coolest swing ever created
The hammock was a big hit. Once you got used to it.
Discussing life, and bait.
Best seat on the beach
How to raise a delinquent: let him gamble while eating pizza. How to delay delinquency: don’t give him any coins to insert.
I adore this kitchen. Maybe not to cook Thanksgiving dinner in, (but worth a try).
Full disclosure. We didn’t stay in the little cabin this year, but in the bigger “Big Cabin” next door. This is a photo from when we did stay there. This table and chair almost make me swoon.
Till next time. Goodbye, little cabins.

I am so happy that you had such a wonderful time and that you share it with us!
Thank you Kim! You know this family, so you know how great they are!
Lovely photos. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for visiting Irene!
Awww…your photos make me swoon too…memories of my grandparents cabin in Northern Minnesota…for you with your lovely memories…and for your beautiful photos! Gotta be pretty limber, Grandma, to get the swinging moment!
It was easy getting down to take the photo. Getting up again was a bit more challenging.
What camera do you use?
Hmmm. Not sure where my answer to your camera question went. I use the Sony a100 my family got me in about 2004. In spite of continual mistreatment, it is a workhorse and I love it.
Such a lovely travelogue. And I relate, having spent ten days at an older cabin in the north of Wisconsin. These are the ingredients of our grandchildren’s memories. What a blessing!
Yes! This place is full of decades of good memories. You can almost feel them. The grandkids never ask to “watch a kids’ show” while they are up there. Too much fresh air, water and sand to revel in.
These photos made me smile and smile!
