Pat celebrates 88 years with her kids

Peter's mother, Pat turns 88 on June 5, 2010. All the siblings got together at Ann's place to celebrate the birthday.

Mom was in fine form and recognized all her kids although she identified them as brothers and sisters.

Our home away from home.

A new enlarged deck and a sidewalk made of local limestone and mortar have made the cottage look a little sharper and a touch more inviting.

The "bunky" provides a quiet place to rest away from the main cottage. It has two double beds and a small loft large enough for one person. There is a small deck. There is electricity in the cabin.

The new deck added last summer is shimmers in the evening light after a light rain shower.
