Our new, stress-free life was filled with wonderful challenges, like rebuilding electrical generating equipment, learning the difference between a walleye and a pike and trying to fathom how a flame makes a propane fridge work!

Janice recently won an award for the "Outstanding Lady In Tourism In Ontario" for 1997 (Presented by the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters Association). She has excelled as a cook and according to many of our guests also holds the title of "Best Cook In Ontario".

I'm a happy guy if I can work most of the season on building and renovating on Red Pine Island.
Note: I'm the guy in the checked shirt. Janice tells me this picture needs updating because of all the grey hair that I have now! (I think she's concerned about false advertising claims?)

dancing girls and high drama had lost its appeal. As for Janice, life as a
high school teacher was also wearing thin.
