The holidays were fast approaching....

While the attorneys and Mr. Meyer were working out various terms, fees, costs, etc. for selling the cottage to David and the Radke Trust, mother and I made the decision to go to the cottage for one last Christmas. It was clear that the court was not going to make any decisions until later in the year or the beginning of Januaray so, we sent an e-mail to the other owners announcing that the "cottage has been reserved for the Christmas holiday period. Dec. 23, through New Years." The e-mail was sent the latter part of November per our usual procedure for letting the other owners know when the cottage has been "booked". Stu used the cottage over the holidays several years previously and the last time I used the cottages was 1999-2000. I had both cottages filled to the max to celebrate the "big" one. We had a blast. We were warm..(can't remember when the cottage was WINTERIZED, but it was a long, long, long, time ago).

So, on Nov. 26th mother received this e-mail from David: "While you are north, check the fuel oil once in a while. You have 135 gal. now which should be more than enough. If it gets below 75 gal. you should call Fick. Happy thanksgiving all, D"

Ok. That was nice. In the meantime, paperwork flew back and forth, terms and fees were being challenged, nothing yet had been done about an inventory and the distribution of possessions and NO money had changed hands. We were going to the cottage for one last Christmas. Mother and I.

This post sounds relatively innocent, even innocuous... but I know of the evil to come.

That image of Josephine being served by the Sheriff...

Now that's one of the most diabolical things David has ever done.

The kind of deed that just can't ever be taken back.

The kind of deed that follows one to the grave...

Hopefully Lakeside has high speed internet access, so campers can keep up with this fascinating blog.

Blogging live from the lake! LOVE IT!
Please let us know about Slymie sightings and snubs.

He probably won't have the balls to stay up there when you're there. Bet he hightails it back to Saginaw.

(As if Saginaw needs any more slyme!)

Where is Slymie hiding out?

I know he can't face his sister.

I heard he doesn't spend the week days at the cottage and since he only has 1/3 of the cottage I'm sure he'll send the radke's up there during your time at cox's. He doesn't have the balls(never did never will) to show up there. He's wayyy to much of a weazel to show his rauncht face. If I were Josephine I wouldn't say a word to slymie

Please take some pictures as some of us have no idea what these places look like and it would be so much easier to see what the blog is about in pictures. Thanks
