One of my favourite places this side of heaven is Rock Sands Lake near Bancroft, Ontario.  As I write this I’m on my way to this place, which my cousins and I refer to as simply “the cottage”.

From the minute I arrive till Wednesday morning I’ll be playing volleyball, canoeing, swimming, playing “king of the raft”, and most importantly: talking and dreaming with some of my best friends.  And they know how to dream.

Most often, we spend at least a couple nights laying in canoes as we float around the lake staring at the stars, and talking about life.  It’s usually one of the most inspiring few days of my year, and I can’t wait to get there.

Here is a song written during one of our weeks at Rock Sands Lake:
