Stopped to visit the cottage today on our way back from skiing up north.
She's just as lovely in the winter time, isn't she.

summer time o'brien

SPENT LAST WEEK at THE COTTAGE for a family reunion, birthday, vacation. Reimagining all 17 of us piling in and out of our family's hundred year old cottage still makes me laugh today. No air conditioning, one toilet and in constant need of something being fixed—she is absolute perfection in all her imperfections. Thanks again you sweet old girl.

the chief
EVERY few hours the Chief Waupaca Sternwheeler passes by our cottage pier. It's the kind of thing you never get tired of seeing.
In 1963, the Chief Oshkosh Brewing Company employed a sternwheeler paddleboat to transport beer up and down the Fox River. Unfortunately, the beer was never quite as famous as the beer that made Milwaukee famous, thus the "Chief Oshkosh" was abandoned. In 1973, the boat was resurrected from its icy grave in Lake Butte des Morts. The boat was restored and christened the "Chief Waupaca".
