I am very proud to announce we won an award, or I should say our Website has. We are the recipients of a 2005 Northern Ontario Gold Key Award for Website Design. Plus our Blog is being put forward as an example of effective blogging. Louise's hard work (she is our Webmaster) is paying off and it is always a good feeling to receive recognition for all her effort.
Sorry for the lack of communication but it has been a fairly busy Fall.
Thanksgiving weekend was a success, the weather was beautiful (despite a cold Friday night where our guests just about burned every stick of wood in the place to try and stay warm!) and everybody had a great time. Many are talking about coming back for next summer or even up again during the winter.
We are full again this weekend, and although it is rainy at the moment, the lake is calm and it is not too cold, plus there is still some magic colours about on the trees and the zillion leaves scattered on the ground.
Three deer have been hanging around for several days now, and yesterday they were playing shuffleboard. I guess they like the place.
The raft is now in, as well as the buoys and this week I may start pulling out the boats etc.. If things are quiet booking wise, I will start the process of shutting down the cottages before the really cold weather sets in. Remember, Cottages 1 & 10 are winterised and available all year round, but we close the other 8 cottages down. It is really quite a process and I'll fill you in once I start.
Well, better go and organise myself for our guests checking in today.
Till next time
John
