This summer, my parents became cottage owners. A beautiful vaulted ceiling place right on the water, with great swimming, fishing, sunsets and wildlife too - BEARS! MOOSE!
It was the perfect summer. The perfect timing. The perfect weather. The most perfect place in all the universe, I swear.

The lake is “tea-stained” which is why it looks brown in that first picture - but it’s so clear when you’re right on top of it. A massive flight of about 50 stairs takes you from the deck to the shoreline… so, don’t forget anything at the top.

We have a perfect view of the sunset from our deck. My Mom’s iPhone has approximately 8 million photos of the same sunset, but she’s right… every time, it just seems too beautiful to not take a snapshot or fifty.

I currently hold the record for biggest fish caught - an 8.46lb walleye. To say that my Dad is jealous.. well… he is totally jealous. I beat the previous record by a whopping 3lbs! It was fun. That’s enough fish for my summer, I think.
It’s magic. I go there in my dreams.
