Things I'm thinking about, doing, or thinking about doing! 
Thanks for reading!
The place I feel most at peace is Williams Cedar Point Resort on Big Trade Lake just outside of Grantsburg, Wisconsin. My Great Aunt and Uncle have owned the resort for as long as I can remember. There are 10 "house-keeping" cabins - each complete with 2 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, living area and pier with boat (if you don't bring your own) - 2 campgrounds and a recreation hall with a small general store/bait shop. Cedar Point is surrounded on three sides by the water of Big Trade Lake, so thereis only one road linking the cabins and campground with the rest of the world.
Days just seem longer and more relaxed when you're there. I've been going up there every chance I get (It is in the far northwest corner of Wisconsin) as an adult. My favorite way to start the day is to take a cup of coffee and sit at the end of the pier just watching the lake and the lake birds, waiting for a fish to jump or a loon to sing out. The last time I was there a Blue Heron would hunt every morning along the lakeshore outside of my cabin.
After dinner, guests of the resort can go to the rec hall to visit and talk with other guests, put together a puzzle with our hostess, Pally, eat an ice cream bar or popsicle, or play pinball or pool. After a day of fishing, taking walks, or going shopping in one of the nearby towns, the camraderie is the perfect end to the day.
It is worth the trip for me to reconnect with the lake and find my center again. My most peaceful place is Williams Cedar Point Resort because of the relaxed atmosphere and no rat-race, emails, telephone and all the other things that bombard us in our day-to-day lives.
