Matinenda doors

For Norm2.0’s Thursday doors, these are my family’s cabins in Ontario, on Lake Matinenda.

First, the log cabin. Built in the early 1940s. I wish I knew the names of the builders. My grandparents hired two men. They built a fireplace and chimney, too.

The Little Cabin is smaller and was built somewhere between 1936 and 1938 by my grandparents, with a smaller room and porch added later.

We sleep in tents, mostly.

And the boat house has doors too:

A lovely trip, with layers and layers of memory for me.

    What a lovely second home for a family to have, and with all those layers of history added in.
