A True Story At Lone Wolf Lake

/ Flowerpoet / 4 Comments
The black and white photo in this collage is probably the timing of this experience. In this pic my younger sister, Bev, and I were visiting our uncle’s place where he kept horses for trail rides in the bush near his farm. His daughter, our cousin, Lori Thicke, has written a book coming out on Indigo shelves this April (by Simon and Schuster publishers) called Dreamer’s Daughter, which will probably include at least one story about that farm as well. Uncle Dacker was quite a colourful character with an interesting life. As for my story here, I never saw the Big Bad Wolf again. No wonder!

What Rocked the Boat?

This is simply fiction because I was asked not to tell this story except as fiction, so don’t believe it happened, please.

We swim in a world of mystery.

Living By The Lake

Living by Lake Timiskaming and boating through its many moods both day and night, I savour the pleasant adventures.

We also sometimes boat a short way up Wabi Creek and pretend it’s the Amaxon River. It’s not hard to imagine with the high heat we have been experiencing.
