Who else here is 50+ ?

My parents used to take us to various places on Lake Winni for vacation, then in 1961 they bought us a cottage near Wawbeek in Melvin Village. We all loved it, and after they died we four and our spouses did our best to keep it going, and we did for many years. It was great because it was large enough to accommodate a bunch of us at once. Then it became too much of a burden for those who lived far away and got minimal use. We wound up selling to one brother who has a large family, and my husband and I bought a smaller place on Whortleberry Island. We love Island living, and hope to stay many years though we’re in our 70’s.
