See Beautiful - The Beach

In the 1930s my great-grandparents had a  shack moved from a family property to the shores of Lake Huron (Point Clark, Ontario). 12 years ago my parents covered the cottage and the additions into their permanent home.

The front yard

I am the 5th generation of my family who has visited the lake. Our family always spent the first week after school there. We lived about 20 minutes away. We also visited over the summer and spent time with my grandparents and the extended family there. It is where most of my family memories come from.

My earliest memory is from there. I remember my great-grandmother putting me in her room for a nap. I couldn't have been older than 4, likely closer to 3. 

I was lucky to get to share the lake with the 6th generation - my niece and nephew.


There is beauty in memories, the beach, the lake and family.

    Ghostwriter's family used to rent the same cabin in the woods on the same summer week every year. It was the highlight of summer!

    How lovely! I have similar memories of Lake Michigan. There's something special and wonderful about being along the water with family.

    I had to remember where Lake Huron was. Terrible when that happens.

    So this is what you were doing the last time you left Lee and Phod for 87 million years...

    I so understand this. We rented a little cabin right on the beach at Cannon Beach Oregon when I was a kid. We lived close enough that in the summer we could stay several weeks and Dad would commute to his job inland. So many wonderful memories were made with the sound of the waves in the distance.

    That is such a wonderful family tradition. How we wish we had a place by the sea or a lake or even a pond. The little ones look quite content there too.
