The Cameron Clan

The Cameron Clan would meet on a Sunday in the summer and have a delicious picnic. Everyone brought food and the specialty for all us kids was Uncle Ross Cameron's homemade ice cream. He would bring all the ingredients and then we all took turns cranking on the ice cream maker.

After the picnic everyone had to play ball even Grandma Cameron took a swing at the ball.

In later years, Uncle Les Cameron came home with a fancy boat and we all lined up for a ride.

When we were teenagers at the lake we always looked forward to the dance in the pavilion on Saturday night. Verna Phillips (Telford) and myself (Gloria) washed our hair and had it all done up in pincurls. Verle Kelly was visiting Roy and Ethel Dion so asked us if would like to go for a boat ride. We thought this would be a great way to get our hair dry out in the wind. So away we went. However Verle thought it would be great fun to chase the mud hens. However his turns were too sharp and we leaned the wrong way and over went the boat. Neigher ofus could swim and verle was recovering ffrom surgery but Verna go him around the nec and they stayed afloat. I was going down again when Mr. Perkins swam out and hauled me in.

Thank goodness we were fairly close to shore, but still in the 'hole'.

Needless to say our hair was far from dry and our watches were soaked as well.

Next door to us at the lake lived Mr. and Mrs. Hart. He was a jeweller from Wilkie so he took our watches and climbed up a tree and there they hung until dry and they started working again.

Several years later we tore the little cabin down and built another just a bit bigger. Now with all the necessities it didn't seem like camping. Rent in 1961 was $10.00 per year.
