The Cozy Cabin at the Lake
November 27th, 2006
Toby’s Dad bought a new lease at the lake. He still owns the other lake property but he’s selling it. The new property has an old 70’s mobile home on it and man-oh-man, is it cozy. Cozy, like stepping right back into 1979. Everything from the funky gold clock to the garage sale sofas to the outdoor barbeque that looks like the back end of an orange Pinto (car).. it’s all so old and quirky it’s almost too cool to tear down. Which is too bad too because the whole thing is a fire trap and Toby’s Dad despises it. He can’t wait to tear it down and build a stick cabin from scratch. Everyone is excited about a new cabin that sleeps twenty-eight or something like that… but in the meantime, the old 70’s cabin is a great getaway for an after-thanksgiving get-together. It’s a great getaway from 2006 too if you’re hankering for a bit of the past. I wish I would have taken more pictures. The wallpaper alone was worth a blog post.

Looks like heaven to me.

It looks like you all had a wonderful time, especially Baby Bug. I am sure she was in her glory with all of those relatives to spoil her. She looked pretty happy!
Too bad you didn’t post a pic of that wallpaper. Ha ha.

Um, your child is ADORABLE. And I love what you’ve done with your pictures.

We bought a very similar cabin last year (small…and OLD) and it’s quaint, but 450 square feet will not house us five. Never mind if we want people to come with us. SO GREAT that you guys have a place like that to get away to!

Her Auntie CC made her little acorn hat.

What a wonderful place, I won’t dare show Hubby, he wants a cabin in the woods so badly! One day, when I have my beach house ;).

What a sweet getaway! We have a 70’s basement in our house but the novelty of metallic lavender wallpaper wears off quickly when you look at it every day. :)

You look so cute in your red beanie. It looks cold there. I’ll bet you were missing the California sunshine.
Is that Toby’s mom holding baby bug in one of the pictures? They kinda look alike.

I really like the pictures of the guys. I’ve got mountain men relatives who live in the sticks of Missouri and these pics just remind me of them.
Adore, as always, the pics of Baby Bug.

I got to see the acorn hat up close. It was amazing. The decreases were perfect. CC can you post or send me the pattern?
No, that was Auntie Jaynette. I thought I was looking okay that day. I didn’t think I looked 25 years older than I am. Guess I have some work to do. j
