that was barely livable. Luckily that following school year my mom got a job and my dad went to college to further his education and to later graduate, get a promotion, and move us into a nice new house. Now onto this last summer before starting college where I went on a cruise, stayed at a lake house, and went to church camp.

It was a chilly yet dry clear sunny day on New Year's Eve in 2007 at my family's lake house located on 10 acres that mostly were untouched by any development. These undeveloped acres were mostly woodlands that were covered with walking, hiking, and dirt bike trails. On this day, my father, friends, and I were dirt biking around the 10 acre property for mostly the whole day. It was just a week after that my father had recently bought two new dirt bikes. As we were dirt biking throughout the woods

We walk up to the gingerbread colored house as the pea stones crunch underneath our feet and a summer breeze hits our faces. We open the rickety white storm door and push the heavy ginger bread colored door into the kitchen. The kitchen has a rustic smell to it, surrounded with furniture from the 1970s. I continue through the kitchen, glancing at the monk cookie jar on top of the refrigerator. Through the doorway, I enter the living room. I spot the old milk jug we use as a stool, between the
When I was six years old, I moved from Ottawa, Ontario to Edson, Alberta, then later to Sylvan lake, Alberta. Even though I was young when I moved to Sylvan lake, I remember the area, the house, and the people perfectly. I was around eight years old when I moved from Edson to Sylvan Lake.

Hyco Lake was constructed in the 1960's by Carolina Power and Light as a cooling reservoir for the steam electric generating plant. The Lake was filled in 1965 after Hurricane Hilda came through and filled the reservoir. The power plant located on Hyco Lake heats the water, but cooling units were built in

My Dream House Ever since I was ten years old I have known what kind of house I wanted to live in. A house that is on the lake and after I start a family it will be considered a loving home. One of the most important details about a house is the location. My house will be located where it is quiet and peaceful.
