How’s this for a spooky October photograph?

This is my mother, Linda (far right) and her cousins dressed up as mice in October 1962 in Point Au Baril, Ontario.

My mother was an only child, but she didn’t suffer from OCS (Only child syndrome). In fact, growing up she was incredibly close with her parents, my grandmother in particular.

Summers spent on Georgian Bay, the three of them in one cottage, and cousins, aunts and uncles staying in the two other cottages on the island, delivered the sweet promise of enchanting and memorable moments; a place where children could be children, one with nature, free from the hustle and bustle of chaos (and back then, electronics) and let their imaginations run rampant over rock and wind and the beautiful waters of Georgian Bay. -shared by @greeneyesandspitfire
