It's been wonderful, and if you've never been to Niagara on the Lake I highly recommend it - golf, wine tours, fabulous restaurants, antique shops, and last night at the Niagara Casino I came away $45 ahead in slot poker!Working Stiffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270595837074553752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-14031090201477349582008-08-12T07:51:00.000-04:002008-08-12T07:51:00.000-04:00Welcome home, Martha.

It sounds like a wonderful place full of history and memories.<BR/><BR/>And a great place to set a mystery. You can keep it alive forever by using it as a setting and revisiting it in your mind.<BR/><BR/>I do that with my grandparents farmhouse, where I spent a large portion of my youth. That house shows up in every book I write.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755947919433555176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-59101815525429696902008-08-12T07:45:00.000-04:002008-08-12T07:45:00.000-04:00Martha, giving up the family cottage has to be so ...Martha, giving up the family cottage has to be so traumatic! If it was in my family, I'd probably be the lone person who refuses to sell.
