A Brief Explanation of the Situation….

August 13, 2013 By Lena

This is my balcony at the JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa…

… and this is my view.

As such, I hope you’ll understand if I bugger off blogging today and simply enjoy the moment. Have a wonderful day friends! I’ll be back home tomorrow, but today – today is for remembering that sometimes, we all need to slow down.

    Wow! the lake looks so calm and peaceful with its beautiful surroundings. Lena, with a little gentle breeze, you could just fall off to sleep on the balcony. Enjoy!

      Oh, I don’t know about that – it was quite chilly up north too, especially at night! But super hot on Monday :)

    This resort is 5 star all the way, didn’t expect this from a resort up north. We will surely be returning to test out the speed boats and get a better view of beautiful lake Rosseau!

    • Lena

      August 15, 2013 at 12:55 pm

      Indeed! Can’t wait to return in the winter; I think the boys would love to go sledding!

    It’s about an hour and 3/4 drive from where I live… might be something for me to look into next summer ! Stunning view, so glad you took a breather.

    • Lena

      August 15, 2013 at 12:57 pm

      Flora, I think you NEED to visit, especially since it’s only a short ride away! You’ll love it!
