The New Heater



Here's a shot of out new gas wood stove in action. It is the Champlain model.
And it is "Lucy approved."

Ah, Winter...



We had temperatures below zero this weekend- if only some snow had come our way as well!!
But it has been a great weekend to snuggle on the sofa with your BFF.

Fall Kayak Trip



The last kayak trip of the year, Bass River State Park in October. We decided to get a cabin- it was much too cold at night for tent camping.
Here's my brand new pink Schwinn Bike outside the back door of our cabin.
The cabins at Bass River were a nice surprise- large enough to sleep six, a nice little kitchen, a wonderful fireplace, and best of all: an indoor bathroom and hot and cold running water!!!

Fall Foilage






The weather was chilly, downright cold at night. But we could set out onto the lake right from our campsite. Most of the trees around the lake are pines at Bass River State Park but the colors of fall were all around us.

Bas River Camping Trip






It was too cold to go out on the lake our first day there. Ray drove up from Atlantic City and the three of us biked around the lake. The lovely thing about renting a cabin in the fall: the park provides you with a good supply of fire wood. It was so cold we started a fire each day by 4:oo pm. We brought a litle extra wood with us, so we had plenty to last, even stoking the fire all night the last night there.

Sunset




This is the view of our campsite from across the lake.
And of course, sunset on the lake taken from the water's edge right behind our cabin.
