Loved it!

The rustic look and feel of cabin - loved it! Beautiful lakeview. Nice campfires. Relaxing, peaceful weekend. :) Cabin fully supplied. Fun fishing. Wonderful sounds of loon clock. Accommodating owners. Great price for cabin. ----Sue & Mike K. (May 2020)

May 3, 2020. Apparently, my family had to let off a little steam yesterday. This is what happens when I don't keep track of 'em. (This was my son-in-law Ryan's project. With a little help from his wife, my step-daughter, Emily. Ava, the subject in clip, is our 15-year-old granddaughter.) I haven't refound my own…

Oh my gosh, this will be our 20th season at CWC – where does the time go? It seems like yesterday we were touring the resort in the muffled silence of February 2001, not even able to get into some of the cabins because of drifts. This magical place immediately welcomed us and felt like…

Greetings from Big John & Kim As I type this, it was -37 below zero early this morning. I feel most appreciative to have a warm house in which to sleep, plenty to eat, and a companion with whom to share it. “Brr! It’s so cold, we can’t even create a heated argument.” (In truth,…

(Written as a daily write for a writing class February 2020. Kim, CWC) I thought it would seem bigger when it was empty. It didn't. It felt small and crooked and way past its expiration date. We shut down reservations on old Cabin #4 last Labor Day weekend and moved furniture out. Then 'Lil Chris…

(The daily prompt for the write one day was, "formal house." A had some fun with words - writing class has been very enjoyable. :) - Kim, CWC) A formal house is not for me, Its "Don't touch!" symmetry Can intimidate fears exacerbate Then how approachable would I be? A job like mine is to…

No matter the season, resort life is good

I have nothing pithy to say today for writing class. No funny or interesting stories are knocking on my brain wanting to be relayed on the page, skewed through my point of view. I have the time. I have the energy. I haven't the creative push this afternoon. I sit in a recliner, staring at…

(From a daily prompt in a writing class, the below was based on the prompt, "ice." The hope is to someday gather resort anecdotes into a book. -- Kim, CWC) "Phooom!" "Crik, crick . . . booum!" The ice thunders and cracks as it shifts with the temperature on the lake. Before moving up north…
