My Place to Relax


I have a place up North, in Huntsville. It is such a beautiful place to be, it is a place where I can escape from the craziness of the City.
It is quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. There is no phone, yes I have a TV, but I can only watch movies, I do this at night or on rainy days.
I have muskoka chairs that look onto the lake, 2 on a hill, and 2 on the deck. I sit and read a book with a cup of coffee, and watch all the Blue Jays fly over to get the peanuts I feed them.
I have a hammock and it wraps around you, it is so comfortable you just lay there rocking , and ready to fall asleep, with the sun beatting down on you and a nice breaze from the lake, is just that added touch of joy you feel.
The people in Huntsville are one of a kind, helpful, generous, kind, friendly and funny. I can't afford a Cottage. I have a Trailer, I call it my Poor Mans Cottage, and I would not trade it in for anything , I have been there since 1994, and I would do anything to stay, I will never leave.
We have 350 achers of forest around us, other lakes feed into our little lake, there is Large Mouth Bass, and Cat fish to try and catch. We have a Horseshoe tournament every year, it is alot of fun. The kids have Holloween in the summer, and a fishing Derdy that goes on all season. On long weekends there is always parties/gatherings going on til we hours of the morning. It is great.
At night having a fire going and to hear the crackle of the wood burning and the smell of the smoke is so nice, the sky is so black and the stars or so bright with the moon, and when the moon lights up the lake and you see the fog coming from the lake it looks like a horor movie, I love it.
You have the best sleep ever, from the fresh air, once your head hits the pillow you are sound asleep, and you always wake up refreshed. Ready for a new day.
Anyone that has come up for a visit always wants to come back, and never wants to leave. You are surprised at how much you enjoy it and how relaxed you become. I try to worn people before they come for the first time, but they do not believe me, in the end they do.
I love to bring people up, so they can enjoy what I do every summer, everyone needs a place to go, to escape, to realax, to enjoy and catch your breath again.
