Candace Crawford is a rookie on the OST from Georgian Peaks.

"In my imagination summer is about Muskoka and Temagami, where both sides of my family have summer cottages.  They are very different places with Muskoka being - well Muskoka.  It is a home away from home and easy to get too.  My dog loves it and I get to see my Mom’s family almost every weekend.  You can boat, lie in the sun, swim, shop and are never at a lack as far as convenience goes.  I love the buzz of Muskoka.  Temagami though is completely different – the buzz is gone, there is silence and it gets into you in a way I can’t describe - it is a part of me.  I love both places for very different reasons. 

The month of July was a work month and looking back it was quite satisfying in that I accomplished quite a lot.  I took an online English course and went to FITS every day with some old and new ski mates. It was very hot and I missed my summer tremendously, but did manage a couple of weekends in Muskoka amid the homework.  The August long weekend is a Temagami weekend and then quickly we will be off on our adventure to New Zealand. 

As I think about what I might be missing I look ahead to what I will be doing in August and over the course of next few years and quite frankly, the cottage can wait while I experience life, with a group of great people, from the top of a mountain or two."
