Sue and I travel to the Bird lake home to spend time @ the cottage numerous times a year. Sue was born on the lake in a similar tiny cottage and grew up for a few year wandering around the cows and corn. Her parents now live on the lake full time since their retirement.
Eric has spent years restoring and painting the 1920’s cottage to keep it from falling apart! It’s work therapy; keeping busy during the morning hours when everyone else is still sleeping. It took Eric about 8 years to refinish about 35 original 8-pane windows.

And don’t forget tub-toys; We love to play during our off time…
