Cottage country

Right after work Friday it was up the 400 to cottage country. We went to B.’s sister’s cottage this weekend. What a great weekend it was. Saturday we spent most of the day touring the area’s waterways. The Trent-Severn system is pretty amazing. The of ingenuity behind some of the locks is astounding. For example…the Big Chute lock: you position your boat on a massive lift that ‘lifts’ your boat out of the water, up a hill and drops you back on the other side. It reminded me of something you’d see at Wonderland. (I’ll post a photo later…to help explain it) Today the lot of us took a look at a few cottages. I’m not sure if we can swing a cottage but we may try. We found a lovely cottage on a quiet back channel with tons of trees, property and waterfront. The lot has a bunkie and a wooden cottage. Nothing fancy at all… but charmingly rustic with a screened patio area, small loft and tons of space to dream and grow into. We’ll see. A lot has to happen for this to be reality. But it could happen! 😀

Sabres lose Grier and McKee to free agency. Sigh…
