gosh that brings back memories catherine! i spent every summer of my childhood on lake clear. the fresh fish from the lake, picking of wild berries, identifying bear holes, sitting on tree limbs that hung out over the lake. having to use the outhouse was a bit of a drag but ya got used to it.

We lived right on the edge of town with free run of all the farmer's fields and we'd disappear all day running around like maniacs out there. If you went not too far out of town, there were hills and woods. My Dad's company owned a cabin out in the woods and we'd go there for weekends sometimes. There was no electricity out there. At first the ight came from kerosene lamps and the fridge was a real Ice box - you'd have to go into the village and get a big chunk of ice that would last a few days. There was a big old wood stove - bacon and eggs never tasted better than when they were made on the wood stove. There was a gas-powered generator that was used for getting running water from a well or maybe from right out in the middle of the lake (which is most likely polluted now, but it wasn't then.) You could walk through the woods and pick blueberries, but you had to watch out for bears. There were houses on the drive upthere that could have been right out of the "dueling banjoes" movie (for the life of me, the name escapes me) ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
