Which lake do you go to? (I hope that there isn't just one lake in MN and I am making myself look like a geographical dunce). I ate too much this weekend too and I am in a wedding on Saturday. I had my final fitting today and luckily the dress fits! Good luck at the doctor tomorrow. I know it's a pain to go to the doctor.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13371466610431264666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872537960727288131.post-31354445087245678172008-07-07T21:28:00.000-04:002008-07-07T21:28:00.000-04:00I so enjoyed reading about your cottage and all th...I so enjoyed reading about your cottage and all the fun times your family has had there.

We spent Saturday and part of Sunday there. I even get to ride a jet ski, while there! LOL<BR/><BR/>The photos of your niece riding are great. She looks happy on horseback.<BR/><BR/>Lobster frenzy? Wow, can I come to one of those? LOL. What a treat that would be. Oh, and I would love to hear a loon. My dear friend Eileen, who is from New York, and used to spend many summers somewhere upstate, on a lake(I can't recall the name of the lake) talks about them often. <BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed reading about your family time at the cottage, and I look forward to pictures of those other "cottages." <BR/><BR/>Have a great evening!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>RenieRenie Burghardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660484248593903002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872537960727288131.post-83623155942515486952008-07-07T17:44:00.000-04:002008-07-07T17:44:00.000-04:00Yours is what I call a perfect cottage!!!

Small and cozy and where the kids can enjoy themselves without being told "don't touch that" or "take your shoes off", etc. We had that same type of cottage when I was growing up and oh the fun memories I have of my four brothers and I enjoying our time there. We all learned to swim like a fish when we were just a couple of years old. It must be so wonderful to see your grandchildren now doing things your own children did at camp all those years ago:-)<BR/><BR/>Your niece is sitting so well on Nick and looks like she has him well under control:-) I'm sure she's thrilled that you let her ride him!!<BR/><BR/>Glad you were able to go out for your lobster...that's something I could never get a taste for...I'll eat shrimp but not lobster! lol Can't wait to see pictures from that outing!!<BR/><BR/>Lol don't you just love stuffing yourself and then remembering a doctor appointment the next day? I've done that many times! lol<BR/><BR/>It was a gorgeous weekend our way too, pure sunshine and warm temperatures. Now we're getting rain and it's supposed to rain until Thursday! Ugh! <BR/><BR/>Take care and know that I love ya:-) xoxoxoxCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872537960727288131.post-17988490276967119192008-07-07T16:44:00.000-04:002008-07-07T16:44:00.000-04:00I must admit that I'm a tad envious of your cottag...I must admit that I'm a tad envious of your cottage. It sounds like a little slice of heaven! Two of my hubby’s siblings have cottages at two different lakes in Wisconsin. It’s always a joy to go visit and enjoy the setting.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad the weather held up so well for your weekend, and that everyone had a great time. Can’t wait to hear more about the lobster fest!Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775430602334516126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872537960727288131.post-87788729329144496892008-07-07T12:54:00.000-04:002008-07-07T12:54:00.000-04:00The lake cottage sounds perfect for a lot of fun m...The lake cottage sounds perfect for a lot of fun memories. I am glad that the next generation is taking advantage of it too.<BR/><BR/>Your niece looks very proficient on Nick. It also looks like she enjoyed the ride.<BR/><BR/>I always think that the summers at the ocean are the coolest. There is always so much fog. I so enjoy the fall through spring months where we don't have the fog as much.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to the "rest of the story" regarding the lobsters and the cliff hanger.
