Fabulous Photos and Memories #4

On the Lake circa 1970's
In 1963 my parent's bought an old farmhouse with 3 strange lots included one directly on the lake inlet. The Farmhouse circa 1850's was my mom's dream---sloping floors, wood stoves, 100 year old trees, original wainscoting and hideous 1930's linoleum floors. PERFECT...lol. Their idea was to use as a summer place and eventually retire there.
Our dock of the family compound is where I stood and took this photo. This corner of the inlet to the huge lake was spring fed---the cold water tickling your legs while swimming. The floating dock my dad built was perfect for fishing and launching our fishing boat. Fishing was fabulous and we had pan-fried fish whenever we wanted.
Old photos bring so many great and sometimes sad memories...this one is almost all great. My parents never got to retire there and sold the cottage in the 1980's.
Summer vacations, weekends and gorgeous Falls were spent there, Happily and full of MEMORIES.
