The Call of the Lake

My fave place
Some people are mountain people. Not I. I am a lake person. I love lakes. I love them especially if I can swim in them. Oceans are great too. The warm kind without jellyfish (meduses) especially. I am all about water, and the beautiful vistas they afford.
This summer I had to go back home to my favourite spot in the world – the cottage on Georgian Bay. I just had to. Dad is legally blind now after a stroke, so it’s a good way to take the parents up north, and get some summer fun in.
Here’s the way to spend a perfect summer day at the cottage – with boogie boards, and a lickety Boston Terrier. Check out the kids playing with the doggie.
I can’t wait till next year.
Just heard about Duck Pond up in Shea Heights. It’s now on the must do list.

I prefer oceans nevertheless you have show what lakes can provide.
Lakes are worry free oceans. No rip tide, currants, stingy thingies or sharks to worry about. Perfect for lazing about.
Oceans are scarier.
