Sue and I travel to the our 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 mother, 97, still lives on the lake full time by herself in the house next door.
Eric has spent years restoring, painting, and fixing this 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 originally refinish it’s 35 original 8-pane windows. Eric has just begun to slowly restore the windows a second time after 15 years of MI winters (it’s easier this time).

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