We have been going
to the
Northwoods of Wisconsin
since our children
were little.
I am not sure
by exact definition
what geographical area
makes up the "Northwoods"
but in my mind...
"up north" is where the
white birch trees intermingle
with long needle pines
along the shores of acres and acres
of pristine lakes.
My favorite fishing spot, a lazy river full of rainbow trout. |
Our favorite places to stay
is any cabin situated on this specific chain of ten lakes
which are conveniently connected by small passages.
One of the passages from lake to lake. (Small two lane bridge overhead) |
It is heavenly.
A quiet, simple lifestyle.
Early morning fishing. |
Love waking up to this! |
Getting away from it all
for one week every summer
is just what the doctor ordered.

more laughing...
... and at night,
the sounds
of kids laughing over
board games and puzzles,
or
card decks shuffling.

Our trip is always towards the end
of the summer and I must
try hard not
to wish the time away
until we can be there.... once again.
They looks miseable, don't they? Mine are on the far left and far right. |
If you are lucky enough
to have a cabin on a lake
somewhere... you are blessed!
Enjoy your lakeside haven.
It is certainly one of life's
simple pleasures.
He watched me fish one day.... kind of nerve-racking. Was afraid he may swoop down on something I might catch! |
Can't get back there quick enough. :) |
