In not trying to overload anyone with all of these pictures on one post, but these are a few more to share.

The next ones are some of "she was just so damn cute" pictures. She LOVED playing Frisbee and often had 2 toys in her mouth. She put

It has been a week since our loss and even though I no longer walk around her bed that is not there, I still catch myself looking where I walk so I do not trip on her toys or holding the door open a few seconds longer as I leave

It is with a sad and very heavy heart that I must share this with you today.

Our Murphy girl fell last week and hurt her leg. Even though she was not bearing weight on her leg, she did not seem to be in any pain. Our vet said to

What more can I say

Another gorgeous day in Jackman. The leaves have begun to change so specks of color with this blue background. What a great day to say, Happy Birthday Mom

When I went outside to let Murphy out this morning, I HEARD THE FIRST LOON of THE SEASON

To hear them call out there when the lake is still white with ice, it simply seems impossible. But I guess the only need enough open water to land.

I need to do just a little venting... our red Mexican Sombrero was taken from a cabin.


Those of you who have stayed with us before, may know, our cabins have themes usually related to somewhere we have been. One advantage to this is that we can use some things

We had a wonderful evening last night with friends. We hope you all did too.

Part of our tradition is sharing of the Christmas wafer (Oplatki) on Christmas Eve with family and friends before dinner. Even Murphy was part of it. Below is a picture of Melissa wishing Murphy

Today is Christmas Eve and being Polish, we celebrate Wigilia tonight. It is one of the most beloved and cherished traditions of the Poles. It is the feast to commemorate the birth of Christ. (If you would like to know more about this, let me know.)
We have some dear friends

Last week, I took a little vacation away from Jackman and thought I would share. Steve could not go as we had reservations here. Maybe for the next wedding.

I first flew first into Pittsburgh and rented a car to drive to Ohio where my nephew/Godson was to be married. BUT

WOW The winds last night were incredible. (We really need to get a wind gauge around here - Christmas is coming )

Anyhow, I was sitting in the living room watching the Steelers - San Diego game in Pittsburgh, (It was snowing there ), being very disappointed

I was talking to my nephew the other night who lives in Arizona. This summer, when the gas prices were so high, he and his wife (who work at the same place) worked out a schedule so that they could drive to and from work together to save on

Balloons were sent up for a birthday wish.

Last evening, Carol and Dick "rolled" in to Cozy Cove Cabins on their bikes in need of a good nights rest. Their story: They flew to Quebec City from Northern California with only their bikes, a tent, I think a sleeping bag, and a few odds and ends as their

Late evening as the sun sets in the west, there is always a moment of serenity on Big Wood Lake. Can you hear the loons :

Sitting out on our deck in the morning with coffee or in the evening to watch the sun fade away are my most favorites times of the day. The birds that enjoy our trees, feeders, and bird houses are a joy to watch and hearing the loons or the

Just a quick post to wish you Mom's a happy day on this glorious spring day! We hope everyone finds time to visit with or call your Mom today or think of their moms if they are not with you anymore. They deserve it.

Steve, Murphy and I took

Yesterday, before the wind started to blow, it was a beautiful day. The sun was out, no wind, fresh snow on the ground from the storm. Just a perfect winter day.

So Murphy and I were playing frisbee. (she got 2 new ones this year for Christmas

My brother sent this to me last week....and I just had to share this funny with you.



This was taken in Fairbanks, Alaska and The story that goes with it is:

Pogo Moose Incident
""They were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles.

Here's the story.

Dave and Reina came for a visit last year soon after loosing their golden retriever. Dave had said he was not interested in getting another pet...that is until he met Murphy. I think he fell in love with her. He even came over to

Last night, I heard the call of the loon so I went out on the deck to listen and wait for the next concert.

It was about 9:30. I do not know what the temperature was but it was warm and comfortable.
The air was still

This will be my final entry for Tuckaway Shores Cabins since it has been almost a year now that it has been closed and the signs were taken down by the new owners. It is time to let it all go.

Since I first posted an entry about the property

Last night, Steve and I went to Moose Point Tavern, in hopes to enjoy the Pork medallions one more time before their closing. When we got there, the restaurant was closed as they were having a private dinner for the Scenic Byways (I think). Now this was around 6pm

Last night was the LAST NIGHT for Moose Point Tavern. Luckily, we were able to get away and luckily, they still had Pork Medallions on the menu.

The Tavern, its owners, and their food will be greatly missed in this area. Wish someone rich

For those of you who have been coming to Jackman in the past 20 years, there is a chance that you may of stayed at Tuckaway Shores at one time or another. And if you did not know it yet, the owners that had it for about 19 years,

I sat on our deck this morning to have my coffee and listened to the morning come to life...that is to listen to the birds.
The yellow finch were feeding off our bird feeder, two hummingbirds were buzzing around the deck and quarling over who gets breakfast first

Today begins our 4th year here at Cozy Cove Cabins. I cannot believe we have been here 3 years already. Time has passed so quickly. And we still love it. Every day seems like we see something new and beautiful.

So Happy Cozy Cove

I have been away a week and many of our website things have not been updated...I apologize for this.

But I returned today and wanted to add a little note to Mom's everywhere...or should I say to those of you who still have your Moms.

My Mom passed away last week...very sudden

We woke this morning to our first snow
Only a dusting but it is a start to what we hope will be a very snowy season!

Most of the snow was gone by afternoon, at least around town. I am sure in the mountains, there

The water on Big Wood Lake has risen quite a bit after the rain storms we had this past weekend. I suppose that the ground could not handle the amount of water and most ran off into the lakes and streams.
Our lower yard near the shore usually floods

Steve's sister (and her husband) is here this week visiting form California. What fun we have had. Great to share this place with family.

Anyhow, today was a gorgeous day. Steve and Jim went somewhere to get wood so Linda and I went out on the

We love to have company/family visit us as it seems to be the only time we get out of camp and enjoy the area. Mind you, I am not complaining....we love being right here at CCC and having Big Wood Lake as our backyard. We enjoy every moment,

Fall foliage ...way past peak in this area. Only a handful of trees around here that have leaves holding on...Like they are not quite ready to welcome in winter. It seems to early!

But, last night, the temperature got down below 30 and we woke to a coating

WOW!!!!! What a storm last night. It was like our own 4th Of July Light show..... And as usual in Jackman, today the day after a storm, the sun is out and beautiful again!
This is Alumni weekend in Jackman so we hope the weather stays perfect for them.

It has been raining for about a week off and on but finally today it seems to have stopped. The sun poked his head out for a while. As Murphy and I sat on a rock by the shore watching Steve work , how serene
