THE CABINS OF FISH LAKE ..and.. I'M OFF.

Remember this little baby quilt I was making? Well, any minute now

this little girl will be joining our family! She will be grandchild number 21

for us and we are so excited to welcome her into our family! This will be

my last post for a while, as I will be off to help out with their little family.









I just wanted to share with you a beautiful place here...Fish Lake!

It is quite famous as a gorgeous place to go and fish or just enjoy for

a day or longer. There are so many cabins hidden in the mountains

by the lake that you will never see as you go there. I just love all the

cabins and wanted to share them with you.





This is an old one I just love, probably from the 50's.

I love that old fashioned green color.





I would love to spend the afternoon out on this deck, surrounded by

the scent of the pine trees and the chirping of the squirrels and birds.





A quiet road that leads from one cabin to the next.





I really love the older cabins the very best.





This is nice though, I wouldn't say no to this one!





This one looks pretty sturdy, love the rock.





I could stay here for a good week, see the hammock, love it!





A gorgeous big lake and the fish caught here are HUGE!





Right on the road but still very cute!





Love this one, see the stain glass window in it? It had a hot tub

right there off the deck too, that would be awesome!





I could spend days here on this swing...

with a good book, a diet Pepsi and soft pillows.





Another old one, love the rock steps someone put into the hill.





Give me a soft old quilt and a pillow and I would love to go lay down

here in the tall grass and just listen to the leaves rustle in the breeze.





I love this very old one with it's hand made rock fireplace, hidden in the trees.





This one is old too but so well taken care of, everything so neat.





I just love all these old ones I guess, this is way cute!





Tiny but perfect for a cozy stay in the mountains.





This one was really big..just beautiful!





Hey, this one is For Sale...and I am wanting to downsize...perfect!





I love the log post railing on this one...





I love Fish Lake...a beautiful place to go for a long

walk around the trail on the shore line, which I

have done many times, my favorite place to walk.





Look what I saw there...yes, Fall is here!

I hope you enjoyed the cabins of Fish Lake.





This past weekend I spent some time watching my SIL compete in a

Trials bike competitions, he won...he does every time! It's so amazing

what he can do and he does it with such steadiness and courage!





Giving his wife, our daughter a lift over to the next set of trials.

They are so cute, they have liked each other ever since 8th grade!





Here they are again...love this picture of a bit of the beauty of this place.





And their little girl Sophia...she loves everything

and enjoys it to the max...even sand and dirt! I hope

you are enjoying your Summer this much...I sure am.



I will be back after I get done with some mothering and

grand mothering...the thing I love doing most on this earth!



God be with and bless all of my friends and all others too who

are in the path of earth quakes and hurricanes. May God be with

you and yours, and keep you from any harm or danger .

You and Joni seem to be having the most fun this summer! What fun cabins. Such variety and such a pretty setting! We have never been to Fish Lake but I have heard about it. So pretty. I love the picture of your married ones up in the rocks - really cool! Enjoy that new little one - it is always a miracle isn't it?

GardenofDaisies said...

Fish Lake looks cool and relaxing! I can understand why you love walking the trails around the lake. Of all the cabins you showed, I liked the old dark brown one in the trees. It just looks cozy to me.
Congratulations on #21!!! Best wishes to all. They are going to LOVE the cute quilt you made!!

C'est moi Claudette said...

Hi Julie
LOVE the quilt, and if I was you I would so buy that sweet cottage on Fish Lake... you are downsizing aren't you?
We live on the river, even though it's not sparkly blue because of the clay bottom, we sure LOVE it.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday sweet friend.

Congratulations on you newest granddaughter. I'd sure like another one. The quilt is so darling. Fish Lake, love it, love it. I spent a week there with my young women one summer. Your right, it was a beautiful place, many wonderful moments were shared there. Was that realy a fall leaf? Thank you so much for showing us that, I am dieing for it to be fall. I haven't done any playing, just working this summer. I'm afraid I don't want to be here in August anymore.

Maria said...

Hi Julie!
What a wonderful tour of lake cottages. You are right! I would take any one of them! They are all special in their own way ~
I remember seeing bike competitions in Utah on a TV special once. The riders are very talented!
The baby blanket is so sweet, Julie. How talented YOU are too!
Enjoy your family and may you all be blessed ♥ and may your new wee one feel the incredible circle of love that is there.
~Maria

Jessica Heights said...

Grandchild 21? Such a wonderful blessing!! :)

C'est moi Claudette said...

Don't be confused about my blog and Wendy's blog Julie. She had me help her last week and had to give me permission to edit her blog. I didn't realize it showed up on my profile... will have to modify that.
Wendy is totally sooooo awesome isn't she? I've made such wonderful sista's these last yrs. Blogging rocks.
xoxoxo

retrorevival.biz said...

It's wonderful that you're able to help out with the new grandbaby. We'll miss you but it'll be worth it because we KNOW you'll delight us with lots of pictures of her soon!

~Cindy

wendy said...

Hey Julie....looks like Claudie explained to you the "confussion" about her blog. I will have to go into my blog now and remove her as co-author (since she needed to be one in order to help me update my computer/blog)
I am a computer moron.
Anyway
wonderful cabins........love that kind of stuff. our guess house we just got is like a cabin. I will be posting in in a week or so.

enjoy the new grandbaby....I bet the family will be glad to have your help. We'll wait for your return.

wendy said...

ha ha....guess house
I MEANT GUEST HOUSE.

Betsy said...

Enjoy that new baby! Can't wait to see pictures!

happeningswithLana said...

I would love a cabin on Fish Lake. The water is so blue. We lean more towards activities like that when we go on vacation than busy places. How lucky for grandchild #21 to be born into such a loving family. Love the quilt. Enjoy yourself.

Ann said...

wow 21 grandchildren, congratulations. Fish lake looks beautiful. I would take any one of those cabins.

Mimi Sue said...

Have fun with those cute grandbabies! Fish Lake looks beautiful. Where do you camp? I'd like to take our trailer up there. Mimi

Gloria said...

All of those cabins are amazing and beautiful! Congratulations on grandbaby #21!!! God is so good for blessing us so wonderfully...:)

Enjoy!! I know you will...:) Love that adorable quilt, and Sophia. What a sweetie pie she is!

xoxo...Gloria

Red Couch Recipes said...

Julie, congrats on 21! I have been to Fish Lake just driving though and I didn't realize there were all these cabins even though someone from our ward does have a cabin there; they are hidden. Have a great time with the new one. Joni

janis said...

Oh Julie~ What a wonderful tour of cabins & cottages at the lake! Hubby & I sure could use a little break from it all & a retreat like this sounds like just the right medicine. We fell in love with a little A frame log cabin we stayed at in the Smokies one year. The peace & tranquility is so good for the soul. Although some racoons had a little party on our roof scaring the tinkle out of me!
Can't wait for your newest Blessing to arrive. She will love her Blankie... Be sure to post some pictures of her when she arrives.
Have a Blessed weekend♥

Sydney said...

Oh, I do love the cabins and would like to have one for myself....and eat fresh fish out of the lake for breakfast-yum!
Have the best time welcoming grand #21! So amazing and such a blessing to have grandchildren. Will look forward to some pictures of her sweet and tiny self.
And what a talented SIL. I can imagine the fun and excitement watching him compete. xoxo

Jo~ said...

Loved the cabins Julie, and loved seeing Fish lake, what a beautiful summer you are having, and now you get to go and help to welcome that precious grandchild,... it doesn't get any better than this.

My best to you and your beautiful family, Little Sophia is really growing, and what a happy child, I love the way her hands are intertwined so precious. Enjoy and be blessed.

Paul and I have always dreamed of living in a cabin like those. Gorgeous.
The quilt turned out super cute. I can not believe that you have (almost) 21 grandchildren. Wow! Such a full wonderful family.
Have a great time.

Hello Julie,
Congratulations on another beautiful grandbaby! That quilt turned out just adorable. I love the vintage look to it.
I have never been to Fish Lake. My husband grew up in Utah and he has been there. I just love cabins in the mountains!
Take care and enjoy your new grand daughter!
Hugs, Ann

Faith, Trust, and a Little Pixie Dust said...

We've been cabin shopping, so this was fun to see. I think it's so cool that you make cakes for your neighbors at Christmas! They're going to be sad to see you move!

Warmly, Michelle

Amish Stories said...

I hope to see some inside images of that log cabin. Im new here so im sure you have posted them already. Richard from Amish Stories.

Lisa said...

Julie,
I love all the sweet cabins! What a fun and relaxing vacation that would be!
Congrats to you on Grandbaby #21! I know you will have a blast kissin' those sweet cheeks.:)

Connie said...

Congrats. Wow, 21 grandchildren. You are so blessed.

Thanks for sharing all the photo's of the mountain cabins. I am with you, I could spend some quality time enjoying the mountain air in any one of those.

Amish Stories said...

Id like to invite everyone to my blog Amish Stories today to read a post from old order Mennonite Jean of New York state. Jean has taken-in a foster child named Michael whose parents are no longer able to take care of him. He's English and Jeans family is old order Mennonite (horse and buggy) but that makes no difference in the love that this young man is receiving from this family. Thank you folks and i hope to see some of you drop by the blog. Richard

Gypsy Heart said...

Oh my, I could be so happy in any of those cabins! I can only imagine the quiet and peace plus the water...so tranquil. I so wish fall would arrive here...104' today. :-( Yep, 60+ days of it!

Congratulations on the new baby ~ nothing like these little precious blessings. We will expect lots of pictures you know. :-)

Cindy said...

Oh my, Fish Lake is so beautiful! I would love to stay in any one of those older cabins for a week, just me and my honey. That is what we really need, I think.
Thirty years ago, I lived in a tiny cabin on a beautiful lake set in the wilderness of Northern Canada. I loved being there, even when the snow and cold came and we had to dig a hole in the ice to get our water. That was eons ago, but I will never forget the peace I felt walking along the lake shore. Nothing else was peaceful in my life at that time, but the lake was.
Have a wonderful time mothering and grand mothering, I know that is something that you are particularly good at.
Hugs, Cindy

Midlife Mom said...

Ohhhh...I bet you are snuggling little babe #21 right now and enjoying every minute of it!!!!!! There is nothing like the softness of their skin and that heavenly baby smell. I wish I had more grands but God blessed me with two so I am happy!

What a gorgeous place Fish Lake! Love all the cabins. My lake house is tiny but I love it that way, it is so cozy and not so much to clean! ha!

All my best to you and the new baby and family!! xoxoxoxo

Catherine said...

Love the log cabins. My grand mother had 21 granchildren (9 children)we will be expecting pictures of the new born baby! Blessings Catherine
