Friday night we hung out with the neighbors downtown. The weather was unseasonably beautiful on Friday with a high of 75 deg!

The island is still full of changing leaves. Bonnie took this amazing photo from Titus road heading east.

Saturday afternoon, we watched the Buckeyes game in Captain Ron's barn. This is also becoming a fall tradition. Funny, the weather turned on us from being so nice on Friday to cold and windy for Saturday and Sunday.
On Sunday morning, we winterized our cottage for season. Around 2:00 pm, we were done!
2016 was another great year for the cottage. Major project accomplishments included:
- Staining the deck, retaining wall, cistern, catch-basin and picnic table
- Hanging the great-room ceiling trim
- Installing the washer/dryer back
- Extending the drain pipe in the back lot to fix the yardscape
I seriously think the only thing left on the original big list is to paint some interior doors and a little trim paint.
This year, I finally got to spend some time with family on the island instead of working on the cottage 24/7.
