Lakeside F-U-N ~

Hooking at Lakeside, Ohio, is now just a wonderful memory.  Three days of hooking heaven.  Gorgeous weather, great food, wonderful hooking friends both old and new.  I just can't say enough good things about Katie's retreat.  This is the "cottage" we stayed in.  I think it can sleep about twenty.  If interested, it is for sale and the price has been reduced to $890,000.00 :) .  It is not a lakefront property, but looking out from the front porch, you look upon a park and the lake is beyond that.  


Remnants of an old fountain in the park . . .


. . . sitting near the cannon.


Hotel Lakeside, built in 1875 is nearby.  


VERY Victorian.





Looking out on to Lake Erie.




Just a few of the "cottages" at Lakeside.  See the plaque above the door?


How fun is that?  What a great mom and dad :)










Friday's sunset over Lake Erie.  The sky changes quickly in a matter of minutes.





Thanks so much for stopping by!  In my next post, I will share some hooking.
Pug hugs :)

Those houses are so pretty! But, so close together... you can pass a cup of sugar to your neighbor just by reaching out the side window! lol! Looking forward to seeing some hooked rugs... I'm getting ready to hook again soon and would love some inspiration!
