Favourite Lake Memory

We inherited many white plastic outdoor chairs when we took possession of our cottage. During a particularly blustery day, one of the chairs went into the lake and quickly sank, unknown to us. My husband was fishing off our dock one day when he was certain that he had caught the "big one." You guessed it — up came a white plastic chair. On the bright side, we were glad to get the chair out of the lake!
