FRIDAY THIS AND THAT---DID YOU KNOW I AM THE FERRY GODMOTHER?

 YES, INDEEDY!

I told you I had a secret, remember?

Well- The cat is out of the bag...

OK!  I don't have a cat so I guess it has to be

The dog is out of the kennel!

As if the two pictured above have

EVER spent time in a kennel at home.

Here's my secret!

We bought a cottage!

It's a fairy tale cottage

but, to please my hubby, I am calling it

FERRY TALE COTTAGE

He said he is not inviting anyone he knows

to a cabin called Fairy Tale Cottage.

What would his 'hunting buddies' think?

The man has never hunted since I have

known him..but that's the dream..

a hunting party at the cottage.

I might be snickering here but will

control myself and finish the post.

So, being the clever person I am...

I am making a play on words.

The cottage is on 

WASHINGTON ISLAND, WI.

It's a 90 minute drive to the FERRY

then about a 30 minute FERRY ride across

DEATH'S DOOR (yep-that's real)!

It is where Lake Michigan meets the bay of Green Bay.

Also known as

Port des Morts

So I am showing you what the cottage 

WILL LOOK LIKE FIRST.

           However, this is what it looks like now.

                       Can you see it?

                                 Can you see the vision?

There is a nice addition on the back that has

cream colored siding so 

I will paint the front to match.

Inside is clean but needs a kitchenette

and a water heater.

Nothing fancy as this is a 3 season cabin

with a large sunroom on the back.

I will post more pictures in the future.

There are 5 cabins on the road.

Two of them are owned by  

members of our family-

and all 5 have water rights to the inlet.

All have water views.  

It's quaint and charming and I can't wait

to get there and start working on it.

We are leaving today and will be there 

for a few days.

Thing One and Thing Two

(also known as Scruffy & Coco Chanel or CocoPuff or Cocobean)

will be joining us.

Lots of work ahead of us-

inside and out but it will be 

a wonderful get-away.

Wait till hubby sees the 

pink and white kitchen

I have planned......shhhhhh......

This is not final-(yet)😊

                                This is the kitchen now.

I fought to keep the big old drainboard sink!

If hubby doesn't like it my friend says she

"has a shovel"

whatever THAT means!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I don't know why my print is off center 

and screwed up-bear with me-

I am not techy (at all) and envy

those of you that are.

However, I am 

'the dog whisperer' 

so I do have a talent of some sort.

.....kind of....
