The Cottage

I was lucky enough to be invited up to my friends cottage for the last “TRUE” summer weekend of the year. What a great place. It was pretty close to Minden I think…

This is from the main road. We went for a walk all around the peninsula. I love the lines the clouds draw. I remember we all actually stopped and just listened to the silence. Then we notice a woodpecker, who we would have never seen in the trees if we hadn’t stopped. That’s a pretty good lesson in life. (Lyle’s hearing isn’t very good, he could only hear it occasionally)

This is Jim. He’s our hero. And more man than Lyle, Dawn, Cathryn and I put together! Look at his thumb. He almost cut it CLEAR off. And he’s not letting THAT slow him down (although he DID almost faint when it happened) WHIMP!

Lyle’s almost deaf (not really) but at least he still has his looks!
