Hi kat. Speaking of 'multi million dollar summer cottages', we've got a bunch of them right below us near the lake. Our address is "Fallingbrook and Kingston rd." which implies that we're part of a VERY upscale 'old money' neighbourhood......but the catch is that all the houses at the top of the hill are little brick and stone bungalows (us) and as you look down into the valley you see the millionaires' roofs.

Whenever it rains....it's THEIR basements that get flooded.

Whenever there's a break-in.....it's down the hill (car thieves just seem to prefer those Mercedes things to our Ford Escort)

....and best of all...in the morning rush hour it takes them half an hour just to be able to come up the hill and make a left or right turn onto the main drag.

It IS nice to wander down to their 'hoods' though. They have beautiful homes and nice dogs (I leave the Escort in the driveway, so they don't know we're 'tourists')

Cheers

Rick
