Our Surroundings

Because I promised that Dad's cottage isn't fancy, I thought I should put my camera where my mouth is and show you. Now that you are picturing me as some kind of cyborg, let me show you around.

The cabin

Mom and Dad built the cottage in 1968. Prior to this year, the last big improvements that they made were to add running water (!) and electricity (!!) in 1971. There are three bedrooms - each of the three big windows across the back is a bedroom. Right now, the windows are all covered with sheets to keep out the early-morning sun. The sheets do an adequate at preventing the sun from waking the children, and an excellent job at making the house look like a meth lab.
