Jim and Carol Stuart’s house
Lake of the Woods - Rush Bay
Friday we had a hard day at the lake - toured around in Jim and Carol’s boat, saw some of the 100,000 islands in the lake. Lunch at Ash Rapids Lodge, idyllic fishing spot. Heavenly swim in Shoal Lake - Winnipeg gets its water from the west end of the lake. Had to work hard, sitting on the dock, enjoying the 30 degree day, all pretty nice.
Saturday Jim and Carol took us on a tour of the homes and haunts of their youth in Kenora. Good lunch at Haps outdoor patio. Jim eyed a boat which he has decided he needs. Back by 3.30, Suzanne and Carol had a swim, Jim and Olin went off to Big Duck Island to see a business aquaintence of Olin’s. Another delicious dinner and idyllic evening. Could not have been nicer.
