Today is the last day of our two week vacation. So, I'm filling up this Friday Fragment episode with bits and pieces of our two weeks luxuriating in the northwoods. If you've been following our vacation escapades, you may see a repeat picture or two - - - I'll try to change up the words just a bit in the hopes of keeping you interested!
Enjoy.

You may think it boring to return to the same exact spot year after year for vacation.
We find it gorgeous.

A few years ago it was for sale. Fisherhubby and I walked all around it, peering in the windows of the main A-frame cabin AND the garage/GUEST HOUSE in the back.
We drooled. We wished. We planned. We plotted.
All to no avail. Sigh.
I console myself that RENTING saves a multitude of the headaches of owning.

This is Fisherhubby's favorite vacation pose.
Captain of his own ship.
Master of his own destiny.

Master of his own destiny.

I'd like to have a remote to steer my own destiny.

We didn't eat there, but we sat across the way for a few minutes waiting for our friends and the aroma wafting our direction was nearly irresistible.

Well, fair's fair - - - he put it in the puzzle late Wednesday night even before I finished all those boring sky pieces.
I think he took pity on me 'cause I was feeling rather pitiful last evening.

It is for sale - - - at what is a fairly reasonable price for a lake front property.
More dreams.
* * * * * * * * * * * *

Sister Pam and I grew up going here for vacation every summer, vacations paid for by the work our dad put in on the building of it.
It isn't for sale, another Aunt and Uncle live there still.
We've got ROOTS on this lake I tell ya.

A few years ago Terry owned a whole resort on the site of this brand spanking new "garage" with cabin quarters above. I guess the owners plan to build a LARGE HOUSE later, just as a cabin, you understand. We don't quite understand WHY they need a bigger cabin - - - this is already ginormous compared to "our" little cabin.
Do you see the smaller structure behind and closer to the lake???

I guessed it was the guest quarters for, you know, the in-laws when they visit.
Nope - - - Landlord Terry, who seems to know all things Gull Lake - - - says it is just a PLAY HOUSE for the kids.
Play house for the kids!!! Go figure.

Tonight - - - for the first time in all these years - - - I ran into Larry and Wendy together. While I have chatted with Larry from time to time over the years, I had never had the opportunity to do so with Wendy.
Low and behold, while chatting tonight we accidentally stumbled onto the fact that we grew up at the same time in this little town and Wendy was in fact a childhood friend of and in the same class with Sister Pam!!!!
GET OUT!!!

I told him his camos clashed.
He said, "huh-uh!"
I said he looked like he was in his PJs.
He said he didn't care.
I said either change the shirt or the shorts.
He changed the shirt - - - for a blue one.
I let him go out in public like that
You can only do so much with a 14 year old.

Looks like a wonderful vacation! Have a good couple of days, then back to reality! :)
What a beautiful place to vaca! I love it and oh, to have a remote for our destiny! Sigh.....I needed it long, long ago!
I love the camo sunglasses! I need to find the Superhero some. And I don't know why you wouldn't let him go out in his camo outfit! :)
Sad saying goodbye to vacations but there's always next year!
I am glad to read that no UFOs were sighted. Although fisherhubby in the last pic would have scared them away, I think.
Nothing better than a two week vacation. Sorry it is coming to an end but it all looks so lovely and a perfect getaway!
Looks like a great vacation (with the exception is mice sightings)! Great pictures!
It's already been two weeks?!
Why were you feeling pitiful????
Nothing about your vacation spot seems boring. I can totally see why you would want to return to it yearly.
Are u sure FH hasn't been watching Duck Dynasty? The men go around dressed in garbled camo all of the time. If he starts growing a beard and long hair, he has become a closet fan!
What a wonderful time you are having, the lake and sunsets are beautiful.
I'm leaving a fragmented comment...I need to visit the northwoods. Looks wonderful! I'm so glad the puzzle piece was returned! The little cabin play house is so cool! Can big kids play too? That is cool that your lake history goes back to your childhood. And last but not least, WHY is Fisherhubby making that face?!!!
