This summer we lost both our dock and deck from record breaking
high waters on Lake of the Woods, Kenora.
Oh yeah....
...AND BECAUSE OF A HUGE FREAKING STORM~!
I know - I know.
I know what your thinking.
Who cares? It's just a dock, right?
Boo - hoo you lost a deck - cry me a river!
Lauren, just make another one, right?
I agree...but I ALSO kinda don't.
Here's why...
The dock is how we live.
We need our boat to get to the island.
Therefore we need a dock when we get to the island.
Pretty straight forward, eh?
(plus ~ how else are we going to get my 92-year-old-granny in the water
if we can't push her off the dock - right?)
And the deck?
Well, we Wells'ssss have made so many memories on that thing.
Like what?!?
Like big life decisions - You wanna have a fire tonight?
Kids played on that deck - Stop leaning on the railing! or I'm gonna get the hose!
Vows were taken on that deck - Do you Bryan, take Megan.....YES-YES (of course!)
Deep conversations were had on that deck - I think I'm suffering from...
severe gas, trade spots with me.
Individual moments of reflection/realizations -
HECK, people have even peed off that deck...well, I never did.
But I am sure someone did.
All that to say, we lost everything in less than a week.
I would therefore just like to take a moment to say goodbye.
Goodbye and good job mother nature, it's all your fault!
(and nothing to do with man or global warming - naw!)
You may have won this summer but we Wells'sssss will be BACK!
You can count on it ~ with more vigur that ever!
Here is mother laughing in my face...literally, she didn't
just say it, she SPRAYED it.
Ew.
This was the mess she left behind....
sigh*
Anyone who wants to come to the cottage summer 2015
