Did you ever wish that you could go back in time, to a place where things were so much simpler ? 

I’m sharing this with you, and would love to hear your story about simpler times ! 

I was a missionaries kid from age 4 - 8 years old in the bush of northern Ontario, Canada. Our family was stationed at McDowell Lake for 4 years. 

The only way in and out was an hour flight by bush plane.

No electric, no running water, and our only heat was a wood stove. 🔥 We fished the lake for northern pike and walleye. Hunted moose and gathered wild blueberries. The summer growing season was so short, that all we planted were potatoes. 

For fun, my brother and I would swim in the lake. It was frigid cold but we didn’t have much else to do except play with our slingshots.😂 In fact, the homemade bag that I am carrying in the picture was to hold small pebbles to use with my slingshot.

Not to worry, no animals were ever harmed ! 😂

As rough as this life was, I sometimes find myself missing it !

Wow dear, that life may have been simple and tough  but honestly, it sounds so pure and beautiful! 🌿🔥
Sometimes those hard days are the ones our hearts miss the most. 🥹✨

In a simple child’s mind it was a great adventure ! 😁🥰
