Most recently Kevin flynn gallamly came to my rescue. How fortunate we are to have been handed the keys to our neighbor's place on Georgian Bay and how thankful we are for this respite where we watch squirrels scamper by the raccoons rummage through treasures we have left inadvertently in the night.

Instead it dominates the beach throwing massive shadows in the afternoon sun and cuts off all light for its neighbors. Where in all that yellow brick, turrets, wide driveway... where is the atmosphere of a country place? And there humming away in the corner, ironically beside the com- poster, is the air conditioning unit. The paved driveway extends for miles up to its austere doorway, empty in its welcome.

In any case, we had a ball at their place, lazing around the dock, swim- ming in the Lake of Bays, swinging on the stuff on the porch. The donni- tory just off to the side of the 'cot.. tage' was a bit, much, but with enter- taining on the weekends a must, there was little to do but sit back and enjoy. And even this sprawling cottage had appeal - it had charm, character and, as the dozen or so of us sat and munched down breakfast on their harvest kitchen table, we felt at home.

The pace of life seems so different, from the run in the morning along tree-lined tiny roads to just soaking up the sun. Worries just fade away. And be it in an old-fashioned cot- tage like the one we are using through the generosity of our neigh- bors, or the place of my friend up at Lake of Bays, it is the tell tale cottage? How you feel immediately at home... without any fuss. And so, here we sit at our neigh- bor's place (we are nothing but sum- mer parasites to be sure) and we are truly made to feel at home. The win.. dows are wide open, the deck is full of our beach paraphernalia, the fumi- ture is comfortable and the place is full of neat magazines. They are impressive only in their own audacity. In any subdivision, they'd be outrageous. But in cottage country, they are obscene. Charm and atmosphere. But cast your eyes, for a moment, to the chilling monstrosity across the road. And I truly wonder what it is about people that makes them want to build such blights in getaway coun- try. I don't even pretend to under- stand it. Give me warm sun, chilly water, a good book and plenty of sun tan lotion and a cozy cottage and I am one happy camper. And cones heaped with ice cream for just a buck. Cottage life is bliss. Who could want more? atmosphere of a cottage that holds the chronic appeal. by Steve Nease
