A Week at the Lake

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with RE/MAXCamosun (Chatterton)

I just returned from a week to Canim Lake, a somewhat remote lake in the interior of British Columbia. We were at my cousin's lakeside cottage having a family retreat. No phone service, no internet. It was marvellous. The weather was cooperative, with the exception of one day of clouds and a touch of rain.

It was just a lazy week of playing Upwords, cards, darts, reading, fishing, walking to Canim Falls and good conversation.

Below is a picture looking out at the lake from the deck and then an artist's conception of the view.

Beautiful!  Glad you enjoyed some relaxation.  Ted, if memory serves me correctly, don't you paint watercolors?  Is that beautiful rendition yours?  :)

Karen, you do have a good memory. The 'painting' you see here is done with Paint It! Now.

Elizabeth, yeah, but did I mention the mosquitoes?

ok, but now I want to see YOUR actual paintings!  As I mentioned before...what a great blog post that would be!  Have a great night, Ted.  Rodney says "slurp" to Tessa!  :)

There's nothing like a week at the cottage if you can leave your worries behind.

Ted,

Looks like a great spot. Reminds me of Muskoka in Ontario.

There is nothing like a serene appearing lake to quiet the frazzled soul!  It looks like it has a ton of fish in it too!
