Revenki's photos with the keyword: Alden

Early fall 1970. Myself and my brothers and two eldest cousins on the swingset at my grandmother's resort, on Thayer Lake between the villages of Alden and Clam Lake, Michigan. If I remember correctly, the cottage on the left was named "Doug" after my older brother (in the seat with me), and the one on the right is "Debbie", named after my cousin (on the leftmost swing).

The main house (my grandmother's place), with "Doug", "Debbie", and "Mark" (and possibly "Terry") cabins behind it to the right, August 1999. Note the swingset to the right, which is still intact and the same color almost thirty years later. Oddly, I don't remember there being two birch trees in front of the house where those stumps are, just one huge oak stump at the center of an enormous growth of some kind of creeping vine.

The main house (my grandmother's place), with "Doug" cabin behind it to the right, August 1999. The faux stone, gutters, and flower boxes were added by subsequent owners. Everything else is original to the house from when it was rebuilt from one of the 1940s cabins circa 1963. Particularly amusing is that there is still a yellow bug-bulb in the light over the front door, twenty years after the place was sold.
