Since you probably don't want anything to do with my worn apparel, I will give you some of my photos instead.
Here is the family cottage. From this angle, it looks pretty good. We've had to do some modifications over the years; we took down the chimney because it was pulling the wall down and we had to re-attach the bathroom after a succession of bad winters but overall, this baby has stood up to a lot of abuse.
The cottage is right on lake Belwood in southwestern Ontario, Canada. This lake was man-made after the construction of a dam and has provided me with many, many great summers.
I prefer to stay away in the winter. The area is very cold, desolate and not very welcoming, unless of course you are a snowmobiler.
There are quite a few things to do here in the summer months.
Canoeing ...
Watching Canadian Geese ...
Painting your fingernails ...
Teaching the dog to swim ...
Posing for the camera ...
Playing bagpipes on the dock ...
My brother likes to squeeze his bag and make a lot of noise. We come from a Scottish background and my brother has taken this further than most people.
When I was young, I learned how to play the chanter (kinda like the first step in learning how to play the bagpipes) but I didn't enjoy it; the teacher held a ruler over my fingers and if I made a wrong note, he would hit me with the damn thing. Needless to say, I switched my musical instrument over to the piano because the instruction was a lot less violent.
There is also seagull chasing ...
Never let a crazy eight year old drive the boat!
And finally, the sunset.
I'm not sure if I'll make it up again in August. The summer is so short up there; by September, the cold wind starts blowing, the leaves start to change color and everyone starts thinking about the long winter ahead.
