Rainy Days at the Cottage
by Paul Grissom
If you’re a Cottager you’ll understand. Seasoned cottagers will declare, “There’s no such thing as a bad day at the cottage”. Don’t believe them.

Annie would read, the cat and I would fall asleep. The result is this book: 38 years of thoughts about storms,...
