What exactly is a “Cedar Haven Reader?”

Good question! For years I’ve enjoyed jotting down little snippets and stories that revolve around my family’s beloved Cedar Haven, our island summer cottage nestled along the pristine northern shores of Lake Huron. I’ve enjoyed that special place of dear family memories for over fifty summers and counting. This is simply a collection of those stories. If you get a kick out of sandy cottage floors, clear lakes, old wooden docks, or boat wakes, you just might enjoy these.

Check back every once in a while for new postings (I’ve got a lot of ’em) or follow along for updates when they come out. Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any thoughts to share!

The chair, positioned on the rear edge of the beach for as long as I can remember, stands as a sentry to the cottage named Tannen-heim which according to family lore loosely means “Christmas tree home” in German. It was … Continue reading Just Sitting
