Just like you...those were happy days and we had a party store we could row the boat to. :) Would love to have a cottage some where some day. I keep playing the lottery!Lisa@Pickles and Cheesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154819162615247516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683038073025845510.post-25477934836067399362009-09-23T23:09:38.866-04:002009-09-23T23:09:38.866-04:00Hi Lara!

We walked up the road to the party store (a name I've since realized is very midwestern) and played kick the can, sat on the dock, etc. I loved it and it was a big part of my summer life. Sadly, my Aunt died a few years back and my cousin finally sold the cottage as it was too much for her to maintain. It was very old (in fact it was the first cottage ever built on the lake in the 1920's). The Lake nowadays is full of big house and has lost its charm. I'm sure whoever bought it will tear it down and build something else. It makes me sad.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing about your family's cottage.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691249261693845371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683038073025845510.post-83999814870994695232009-09-20T00:27:13.536-04:002009-09-20T00:27:13.536-04:00awwwwwwwww. that must have been a strange feeling!...awwwwwwwww. that must have been a strange feeling! :( at least you were able to stop by!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
