A Tale of Two Sisters

This is dedicated to the ones I love









Mimi, Terry and I had the extreme pleasure of spending several days with our dear friends on Torch Lake.

Dan, has spent his summers on this lake for most of his life and Julie has joined him for the duration of their marriage.

The cottage is fabulous. It has the classic sound of the squeaky screen door and a glorious screened porch for lake watching, napping, puzzle doing, reading...

There are scores of wonderful photos of Dan's family and their summer memories. The photos span about 100 years.

We slept in a huge room that at some time probably served as sleeping quarters for a half dozen children.

We relaxed, played Uno and dominoes, swam in the lake , and watched movies on the wall with Dan's movie projector.

It was one of the most truly relaxing few days I have had in a long time.
This time, Daddy was on vacation with us, not just an 8 by 10 glossy.
Thank you Dears for a wonderful time.

The third photo was shot by Terry. In an attempt to find a deck of Uno cards, Aunt Julie went to the prerequisite, cottage board game closet and found a box full of these great vintage playing cards from Airline companies of yesteryear. Every passenger would receive a deck to while away their time on the flight. Do they even give us food now?
