Your Letters
On Facebook, we posted a story about why you should be drinking boxed wine at the cottage. John Sharpe was quick to respond: “My wine is boxed. The box just happens to have a dozen bottles in it.”
A family jewel
The piece on the Stevens family and their unique island rock chair (“One Hundred Years in the Making,” Aug/Sept ’19) really stuck with me. While we do love the comfort and look of the traditional Muskoka chair, and we have many versions of it, I was most intrigued to read about the changes that the Stevens family has made to it. We wish we could sit a bit more upright in our chairs so that we can read with our heads resting on the back, and, as we age, we find that getting out of the traditional chair can be a bit of a challenge.

I tip my nap to you
I enjoyed reading “Close Your Eyes—and Mean It,” by Elamin Abdelmahmoud (June/July ’19). Any cottage, cabin, or wilderness retreat holds magical power, even the power to let go. The author states that “the rules society has built around sleep are suspended”;—ADRIANNE HARRIS, KENNAWAY LAKE, ONT.
