Savor what you have. You don't know what you got 'til its gone.
The "cottage" purchased by one of my uncles in the late fifties was always sanctuary for all three of our families, June, July, and August!
In 2008 I watched in the driveway of the property it being unceremoniously auctioned away. My uncle's "younger" 2nd wife had other thoughts about what the "cottage" represented to her. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't reminisce about that spot of paradise facing Diamond Island. I go by it in my boat with a heavy heart full of wonderful, wonderful memories, but am happy to see others now enjoying what I was a part of for almost 52 years.
Particularly happy most of my kids had the opportunity to be at the "cottage" with their Nan, my Mom. That no one can take away!

Cut my RH fingers off for the spot at the head of Cow Island.
