Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/06/2011 (4895 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Carole posted the following to www.winnipegfreepress.com/ace.
“Summer means going to the cottage at Grand Marais with my parents. No TV or telephone just a radio. No electricity but kerosene lamps. Early to bed and early to rise. A morning walk to the Point along the lake.”
Here’s what I like about Carole’s post: everything. Summer is not about plugging in, it’s about logging off. At home and in every day life, the world is always trying and buying things that are supposed to make life easier. It takes summer to realize that no TV, no electricity, no phones = bliss. I think we might have everything backwards. Great job Carole.
