The old cottage in winter, before the addition of the screen porch. At the time, show shoes were the only means of getting down the road.

Charlie & Pete, on the old Ski-Doos, loving the magical Christmas spent at the cottage.

What a view of the Wolf out the window!

Here's the spot that would become the addition at the cottage. Pete, Mom, Maggie and Dad are shown at the end of a day's work.

Dad mans the grill at the cottage, "She's talking to me now." Pete looks on, knowing even then, that these are precious moments.

Bretls in full-tilt goofiness at the cottage. Pete chases mom, Maggie's doing Lord knows what. Golden!

Dad and Alex Hermany survey the Wolf River from the dock at the cottage. What a beautiful moment, what a tear-jerking photo.
