Our Floating Living Room

Last week I shared pictures of the lake that we have our pontoon boat on, and now I'll share the boat. I love our boat, but my hubby really loves our boat. We have had it for 4 summers, this being the fourth summer. It's a great boat and please notice the cup holders because it's the reason we stopped and looked at it at the boat show. No really it's true. Tootie at Honey Girl Studio got a new pontoon boat so I'm sharing here so she can see the boat. (I'm not trying to show off or anything.) Just a proud boat owner... it's kind of like showing pictures of your kids. This is a picture of the boat from the front entrance. We can have two tables set up, but we put one away for more floor space.

Yes, I know, they are just beautiful. They almost bring tears to your eyes, don't they? They are the RED cup holders. (I need therapy.)

It's me in front of the boat. Yikes, enough already about the boat. Bye for now. Trudi M.

Lake Homes or Lake Cottages?

Webster defines a cottage as a small single family dwelling that is frame built. I'm not sure all these qualify as small, but lets allow the owner to determine small or cottage for their home. None the less I love them. We boat in southern MI where we rent a dock space. Hubby and I boat whenever we can. It's a beautiful lake and I wanted to share my dream homes with you. Here's a picture tour of my favorites.


This is my favorite home. The large amount of lake frontage and the landscaping is beautiful. What a dream home to own. Plus it gets a lot of sun, which you'll see is not common on this particular lake.

This home was build a little over year ago. This is it's second summer as it is now. I'm not use if they used an existing home or tore one down, but I just love the 4 levels and the decking. It's just beautiful. I can picture myself sipping a cup of coffee on that small deck off my bedroom.

This is much older home, but really well maintained. There's pool on the upper deck. It's a very "lake like" home for around here. I think that's why it appeals to me. To be honest, I would like any home on the water, howere that said, I really do like this one. It just attracts my attention when we go by.

My hubby and I've often talked about buying this one, LOL. That's the joke around here. Even if the home is small, it does not come with a small price tag if it's on a nice lake. We'd add a deck and from there who knows, but we like it. Couldn't you see french doors where the windows are? aah, dreaming

OK, I've had nothing but delays with Blogger. This is live folks. Oh, you know this. Well, the last two pictures won't load right now, cry, I've sat here for an hour now. That's too long... I'll get back to the other pictures later, maybe when blogger is happier.

Bye for now, Trudi M.

Happy Memorial Day

Here's a few photo's that my hubby and I have taken this weekend. May we all remember our Armed Service men and women and our loved one's on this day. This was taken in our back yard on Sunday. We feel very fortunate, we live in the city, but our home backs up to a small row of trees, so we have a lot of wildlife.

PS, I can't believe it but my name was drawn

for two Cottage Give Aways. Thanks a million.
