Cottage Life

Summer and cottages go together like a hand in a glove. There is nothing better than escaping to "The Lake" and getting out of the city for the weekend. Millions of Canadians do it and the traffic jams every Sunday night attest to the popularity of this summer ritual.

Don and Gillian invited us to get out of our trailer and relax at their cottage for a few days last week. What a fabulous place they have in the Gatineau Hills of Quebec.

The "deck" was our place of meeting where we read, relaxed, ate good food and enjoyed the sunsets across the lake.

The view out the front window was from a postcard; who couldn't drift off to dreamland admiring such a view?

Did I mention sunsets?

Old boathouses and cottages hugging the shoreline spoke of an earlier time in the history of the lake.

Thanks Don and Gillian for a fabulous time. We felt spoiled and pampered.

Thanks also to Ted and Sharon for looking after our "girls" (chickens) and allowing us to get away.
