What's your favorite Halloween Candy Treat?

Monday, October 12, 2009 by Roxanne Turner


My favorite part of trick or treat was sorting my candy. My sisters and I would each claim a spot in the living room and empty out our pillow cases full of candy.  We would spend at least an hour going over our haul. We'd make it last as long as possible and gloat if one kid ate all theirs faster than another. We hated the people who gave out popcorn, apples, raisins, and the dreaded pennies.  I could get fruit year round at my house any day and was guilty of discarding a few of these unwanted apples in the neighbors front lawns My mom always enjoyed our haul and would pick out her favorite candy which I believe was a Mars Chocolate Candy bar.
 
Wesley and I have been trying to figure out what would be the best treats to give our trick or treaters in Epworth Forest from our Vacation Rentals Indiana Cabin that views Lake Webster.  In doing some research here are some top candy favorites
 
  • Mini Mounds Bar
  • Chunky
  • Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
  • Snickers
  • Milky Ways
  • M&M's
  • Three Musketeers
  • Butterfingers
  • Nestles Crunch
  • Candy Apples
  • Popcorn Balls
 
From the look of this candy list it doesn't look like much has changed in 40 years in regards to Halloween Favorites.  What is your favorite Halloween Candy or Halloween memory?

Halloween...Mr. Bones is excited about meeting our Indiana Lake Cabins Guest

Sunday, October 11, 2009 by Roxanne Turner


Today was a beautiful fall Indiana Autumn Day which inspired me to go downstairs for our Halloween decorations.  I love to decorate but time and money often prevents me from my full expression of this talent. So I head down to what we call the way back room.  It is full of junk, memory boxes, and seasonal home decor.  I see Mr. Bones, (our singing/talking skeleton) who has been a favorite for years for both family and trick or treaters.   We also heard today that one of my best friends, Cyndi and her fiancee Stephen will be joining us at our Northern Indiana Cabin Rental for Halloween  They have never been to our cabin in Epworth Forest in North Webster, Indiana or had the pleasure of crappie fishing Indiana on Lake Webster yet.  
I want to make sure they feel the cozy welcome that this Indiana Lake cabin can bring and enjoy the Halloween spirit.
So, we plan to add a few extra personal touches for their arrival and will probably bring Mr. Bones along for their pleasure and for any possible trick or treaters.   We can't wait to return to our personal cabin and make memories with dear friends amongst fall decor.

New Generations

Saturday, October 10, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

On each visit to our Vacation Rentals Indiana cabin we can't help but reflect on all the generations of family and guest who have come through these doors to create special moments and memories.  Currently, we have 2 family members and one close friend expecting babies.  Wesley will become "Papa Duke" again when his third grandchild arrives in March.  This will be his youngest daughter Jessica's first baby. My youngest niece Bridget is expecting her first baby so I will be Great Auntie R  again too:)  All of these Mothers to be have made special moments at our lakefront cabin rentals and two of them have shared memories at Lake Cabin Indiana "Take It Easy" with previous generations that came before them.  It is our hope that as these babies arrive and grow that they too will enjoy the beauty of this surrounding and hold it dear.

Gratitude is found in our Lakefront Cabin Rentals

Friday, October 9, 2009 by Roxanne Turner



"Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul"
 Henry Ward Beecher

This past September I captured a moment of Wesley giving gratitude for the gift of our Indiana Cabin Rentals Log Cabin.  He had no idea that I had captured this sweet moment on camera.   The peaceful surroundings of our cabin of wooded trees, the Lake Webster view and all the wild life gives you a serene sense of comfort.  His personal family ties and youthful history here in North Webster, IN opens up a flood gate of growing up memories.  He has shared many stories of his past youth of Crappie Fishing, hiking, family and friends

Having a grateful heart is transforming and should be a daily event. Living in the United States most of us have a standard of living many higher than two-thirds of the rest of the planet. Instead of focusing on what we do not or can not have it's good to bring your awareness around to the many things you do and begin practicing gratitude.

Wesley and I try not to save gratitude for just Thanksgiving but year round too.  Our Vacation Rentals Indiana cabin is the perfect place to spend Thanksgiving.  Check out our availability calendar for openings.

Halloween Ideas For Our Lake Cabin Indiana Rental

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 by Roxanne Turner



One of our favorite fun holidays is Halloween because it brings out the child in the young and old.  Normally, we stay at home for Halloween and greet all the neighborhood children with tons of candy and our singing "Mr. Bones"moving skeleton.  Usually a few friends and relatives stop over later in the evening to enjoy our "spirited" brew.
This year we are headed to our Vacations Rental Indiana cabin and want to share in the Epworth Forest Halloween traditions.  I have been doing some research on what we could do special for the Lake Webster area Halloween Trick or Treaters and guest.  Here are some spooky ideas that we found from http://www.evite.com/

Halloween Adult Drink Ideas 

Slime Punch — This spooky punch looks the part and tastes fizzy and lime-licious.

Sangria — Vamp up your cocktails with this sweet sip, a drink that takes its name from the Spanish word for blood.

Bloody Mary — Thanks to its macabre name and blood-red color, this spicy cocktail is dripping with Halloween flavor.

Zombie — Afraid your party might be kind of dead? These strong, rum-tastic cocktails are guaranteed to liven things up.

Non-Alcohol Drink
"Eyes" Tea (makes 1 pitcher)

• 8 tea bags
• sugar (optional)
• lemon slices (optional)
• grapes

Boil 4 cups of water in a large saucepan. Remove saucepan from heat, and add tea bags. Cover saucepan and let tea steep for 5 minutes.

Remove teabags and pour tea into a pitcher. Pour in 4 cups of cold water and stir. Add sugar and/or lemon slices, if desired.

Serve in martini glasses garnished with a grape "eyeball

Halloween Music To Play

.Werewolves of London / Warren Zevon
2.Living Dead Girl / Rob Zombie
3.Somebody's Watching Me / Rockwell
4.Spellbound / Siouxsie and the Banshees
5.Don't Fear the Reaper / Blue Öyster Cult
 
6.Tubular Bells / Mike Oldfield
7.Devil Inside / INXS
8.People Are Strange / The Doors
9.Possum Kingdom / The Toadies
10.Bela Lugosi’s Dead / Bauhaus

Eye-Ball Cupcake Treats

White paper cupcake liner
1 recipe for white cup cakes
1 recipe Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting
Red food coloring
Pastry bag and small round tip
Small black jelly beans
Round candies with hole in the middle
1 recipe Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting
Red food coloring
Pastry bag and small round tip
Small black jelly beans
Round candies with hole in the middle

1. Line cupcake tins with the liners. Fill the tins two-thirds full with the batter and bake the cupcakes as directed in the recipe.

2. Frost the cupcakes, reserving some of the frosting. Pile the frosting up a little in the center to make a sort of domed shape, more like an eyeball. To make the surface smooth, dip a butter or frosting/palette knife in hot water and smooth it over the top of the frosting.

3. Tint the remaining frosting bright red with the food coloring. Using the pastry bag, pipe the red frosting on the tops of the cupcake in vein patterns. Make the veins radiate from the center of the cupcake to make the bloodshot quality more realistic. Cut the jelly beans in half. Place a jelly bean half into the circle of the round candy. Now you have and iris and a pupil. Place this in the center of a cupcake. Continue with the rest of the eyeballs.

This Halloween we plan to have thrills ,spills and chills galore at our Lakefront Cabin Rentals.

The Fall That's Yet to Come

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 by Wesley Duke Sapp




It's been cool lately.  We have had plenty of rain.  That's good for the fall colors at Lake Cottage Rentals Indiana.  What I've been told by people who seem to know is that the cool summer and the rain we've had recently will combine to make the trees around lake Webster show spectacular colors!

Epworth Forest is full of trees.  There are some tremendous specimens right around Take It Easy Cabin.  Looking out from the cabin across Epworth Bay towards the bird Sanctuary and the other side of the lake gives Roxanne and I what we like to think of as a beautiful view.

Muskie Fishing Indiana will be a treat this fall because when you're on on the water making 1 of 10,000 casts you'll be surrounded by Oak, Cherry, Shag Bark Hickory, Black Walnut and Sugar Maple trees yielding their palate of glorious chroma.  And, of course, the lillypads are catching their last gasps before hibernation...flowers and leaves taking it all in...

When Rox says "let's take a ride on the pontoon" we know we're in for a colorful treat, a glass of wine and the feelings we can only get here at the Indiana Log Cabin we love so much all year long.

On you next Indiana Getaway Bring The Whole Family

Friday, September 25, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

We are quite the pet lovers in our household.  Our pets are like family to us and we enjoy taking them with us whenever possible.  There are certain vacations when we hire a pet sitter but when we are headed to our Vacation Rentals Indiana Cabin they come with us.  Both are pets enjoy this beautiful retreat to nature and it doesn't take any coaching to get our Maltese (Rivera) to go bye-bye.  Once our pets see our bags packed and their pet carriers they climb in ready to go. 
 
So on your next Indiana getaway to our Indiana Pet Friendly cabin you can relax knowing that all those you love the most can share in your vacation experience.  There's nothing like sitting out on the back deck while sipping a cup of coffee and viewing Lake Webster with your four legged companions by your side or resting in front of one of our two crackling fireplaces in the winter with them snuggled in your lap.

Halloween Anticipation At Our Lake Cottage Rentals Indiana

Thursday, September 24, 2009 by Roxanne Turner


This will be the first year Wesley and I will enjoy Halloween together at our Vacations Rental Indiana Cabin in North Webster, IN that views out on to Lake Webster.  Well, it sort of seems fitting as isn't this a typical setting (like Lake Crystal in Friday the 13th)  where all sorts of spooky things begin to happen?  We have no idea what to expect in regards to the local Trick or Treaters since this is mainly a Lakefront Cabins Rentals resort/vacation area. 

We still will be stirring our brew, fire up the fireplaces, put out some spooky decor, and load up on our favorite candy in case there are few Epworth Forest Halloweens visitors. We might even buy a cheap Jason mask to greet guest:)  No doubt we will be inviting a few area friends over and check out the local events in the area by checking out http://www.americantowns.com/in/northwebster    We love Halloween and looking forward to experiencing it this year at our Indiana Weekend Getaway log cabin

Favorite Scents of Autumn

Saturday, September 19, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

 
Do certain scents remind you of things you've done or places you've been? I know for most people scents will bring up a memory or place associated with that scent. I love the scents of autumn. Looking back many of my favorite memories were in the early fall.   Homecoming Football, back to school new clothes, riding my bike through my old neighborhood with the smell of burning leaves, and visiting our Lake Cottage Rentals Indiana Cabin for the first time. I just recently made a sales call to one of my clients in Nashville, IN.  The store is called Madeline's and I purchased the best smelling fall candles ever.  They are sow candles from Kentucky Hollow Creations and I have never found a collection of better smelling candles than these.  These candles are perfect in letting me change the smell of our Epworth Forest Cabin to match the season with just the right scent.  Below are some of my favorites scents. What is your favorite fall scents or fall memories?
 
  •   The rich amber smell of our fall candles
  •   The spicy smell of cinnamon
  •   The smell of wood burning fires inside and out
  •   The crisp cool air in the early fall mornings as the sun is rising
  •   The cool smell of the night just after the sky darkens
  •   The buttery smell of melted cheese
  •   The smell of hot apple cider
  •   The smell of apple-cinnamon
  •   The smell of fresh baked banana bread in the oven.
  •   The comforting smell of a loved ones sweater.
  •   The smell of the inside of a pumpkin.
  •   The smell of wood smoke on a cold day 
  •   The smell of a crock-pot stew when you open the front door after a long day.

Fall Is So Good

Thursday, September 17, 2009 by Wesley Duke Sapp

Sweaters, Sweatshirts, Fireplace Inside, Crisp Air, Lake Cottage Rentals Indiana, Walks by the Water, Boat-ride with a Blanket, and Catch the BIG ONE or BUY THAT TREASURE for CHEAP!  

Put away the summer toys and get ready for the future.  The future at Indiana Lake Cabins means good fishin'; Muskie Fishing Indiana, Bass Fishing Indiana and Crappie Fishing Indiana and good Shoppin'.

Guide services are plentiful for Northern Indiana Fishing via Ye Olde Tacklebox, Google or call me, I can help.  Webster is a tricky lake.  Man-made from 7 (seven) holes there are 50 foot drops and shallows that go on seemingly forever.

The antique stores in 'Webster are stocked with unrealized treasures fro the rich folk who don't know what they're givin' up.  Shipshewanna is happening' with cornstalks, pumpkins, gourds and all the fruits of the harvest.  'Though Sweetcorn Charlie is closed, there are still locals with roadside stands of veggies, fruit and love to share.  Come on, you've got a cabin...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood ...

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

Whenever we visit our northern Vacation Rentals Indiana log cabin we always walk the neighborhood in Epworth Forest located in North Webster, IN.  The outside surrounding is very rich in nature and we enjoy seeing how each of our neighbors have added their own personal charm in not only their outside decor but in the chosen names for their Indiana Lake Cabins.  The neighborhood is very eclectic with some cabins being built in the 50's and many other cottages that are newly built or renovated. While writing this blog I couldn't help but think of the old TV childhood theme song by Mr.Rogers. Some of his lyrics are so fitting to how we feel each time we walk the shores of Lake Webster. 
 
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
 
Our Cottage Rentals Indiana Neighborhood is very friendly and full of owners and renters.  So even if you only stay for a weekend or week we hope you feel like a neighbor!

Most of fall is already reserved so keep in mind that our Northern Indiana Cabin is a wonderful place to enjoy Thanksgiving time or the Christmas holiday season.  Check out our availability calendar to book your next Indiana Getaway.

Summers Last Hurrah...at Lake Webster

Monday, September 14, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

We enjoyed our grand finale summer visit to our Lakefront Cabin Rentals in Epworth Forest this past Labor Day.   It was bittersweet as the summer season concluded to give way to Autumn.  We had a fun holiday weekend full of cooking out, boating, hiking, and enjoyed time on the lake with some of our area friends.  Our Indiana Log Cabin is almost fully booked for September and October so we don't know when we will be getting back to our Indiana Getaway.  Below are a few captured memories of our last summer hurrah at Lake Webster in our Indiana Cabin Rentals home.

Guest Book Testimonials...read what our Vacation Rentals Indiana guest have to say...

Tuesday, September 8, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

 
We have been blogging for a long time about how great our Northern Indiana Cabin Rentals is on Lake Webster in Epworth Forest.  Here are some recent comments left in our guest book.  Each entry has touched our heart in the fact that many others have been able to make memorable moments at the cabin.  Our Indiana Weekend Getaway Cabin was built in the early 50's and continues to offer a charm and magic that brings guest and family coming back year after year.



August 15, 2009

Your cabin was so perfect, it came equipped with everything.  Our family had a great time fishing, boating, tubing and jet sking.  Our son is leaving for his first year of college so it was great to have this family time together before he leaves.  We hope to come back next year. 
PS Our dog (Coco) had a great time too.
God Bless!

This has been one of our best vacations.  We love the setting and the cabin and it's so cozy.  Most relaxing.  We will most definitely want to come back.  Our friends ended up being in the house next door and it could not have been ore of a perfect fit.  Thank you for sharing your cabin.

We were blessed to vacation here in this beautiful cabin.  We've been coming to North Webster for 25 years and we enjoy this setting the best.  I enjoyed thinking about the history of this cabin and all the memories made here.  We look forward to coming back.

Wonderful cabin-so cute and homey. We really enjoyed our time here.  We took lots of boat rides and tried to catch a big one.
Thanks,

June 20, 2009

We have enjoyed your cabin very much.  It is a great place to get away from it all.  Being here reminds me of my childhood in Kentucky.  We have had our grandchildren join us and they have loved it too.  They loved the fishing and the ride on the Dixie.  Together we ate popcorn, watched the swans and their babies.  I think they have learned that the simple things in life can be the most memorable and fun. 
Thanks for sharing the cabin!
Lea & Max Wyht
 
June 10, 2009

This place was very relaxing and was a good place to just sit and do nothing.  We fished off the pier and watched tons of birds and took pictures.  The cottage was well furnished and super clean.  We will come back again, and tell others about this place.
Great Job!
The Maida's
 
May 31, 2009

We had a magnificent weekend!  This cabin was way beyond our expectations.  Fishing was also spectacular with my 10 year old daughter Leah catching a 38' musky along with dozens of others.  We will definitely be back in October.  Thanks for providing such a warm and inviting cabin.
Warmest Regards,
Dr. John Pawlus

Labor Day at The Lake has Nothing to do with The Haymarket Affair

Wednesday, September 2, 2009 by Wesley Duke Sapp
I do believe in the strength and esprit de corps of all laborers (that's all of us, right.)  I mean really, we're all workin' for something.  Some work to get ahead, some work at being lazy, others work so they can get to Lake Webster every-once-in-a-while!



Top Labor Day Memories from my Lake Cabin Indiana:
  • Sittin' on the boat at the dock listenin' to the band that plays every labor day Monday echo across the lake.
  • Goin' to the end of Summer labor day bash at South Shore golf course near Wawasee
  • Bonfire with friends down by the lake on our Indiana Weekend Getaway 
  • Sweatshirts
  • Making plans (that you may or may not keep) with friends for the rest of the year and a Winter Cabin Rental
  • Drifting on the water in the late summer sun
The Sleepy Owl has an end of Season Celebration coming up this year.  I saw it on their sign.  I think it's on 9/6/09.  Check for yourself, don't count on me for details, I'm an idea guy!  Any way you look at it, Labor Day at The Lake at Northern Indiana Cabins is maybe not as important as, but just feels better than, a protest march anywhere.

Enjoy Autumn in a Northern Indiana Log Cabin Rental

Tuesday, September 1, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

Imagine, starting or ending your day with a nice hot cup of cocoa or warm cider by a crackling fireplace in a all natural log wood cabin that offers lake views in every room to enjoy.  A place where you could find the splendid colors of fall right outside your window. 
 
Autumn is a wonderful time to visit our cabin on Lake Webster.   Epworth Forest is full of mature trees and the foliage is beautiful especially during peak season.  It is not unusual to experience warm enough temperatures to go tubing, bass fishing and boating like our family did last year.  Our 2 Story Vacation Rentals Indiana log cabin offers 2 fireplaces, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths  
 
This is a perfect time of year for a Indiana Weekend getaway and there are still a few dates left for fall.  Hurry and check the calendar for reservations.

Ms. Emily's Flower Garden

Monday, August 31, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

Wesley and I couldn't help but notice the sprinkles of love we found in the form of more flowers still blooming on the grounds of our Northern Indiana Home Rentals cabin in late August. Wesley's Mother, Ms.Emily was an avid Gardner and loved flowers especially wildflowers. Almost fifty years ago she started planting her seeds of love around the cabin.   She carefully selected a variety of different flowers that bloom at different times in just the right location. This past weekend we moved her "In Memory" bench that viewed out upon Lake Webster a little closer in to one of her flowerbeds. Her devoted love for the cabin in North Webster, IN still lives on.  She was very instrumental in being part of the original group that started the walking path in Epworth Forest. We miss her dearly but still feel and see her love with each seasonal blossoming flower.

Labor Day Weekend Memories at Take It Easy

Monday, August 31, 2009 by Roxanne Turner



We're so excited to be heading to  "Take It Easy" Cabin our Vacation Rentals Indiana cabin this Labor Day weekend.  It has been a tradition for us to reserve this holiday for our own personal use year after year. Last year's Labor Day weekend was full of family love, and joy for Wesley and I.  We enjoyed high 80 degree days and lots of family moments to cherish for a lifetime.  My sister and brother-in law came in from Georgia along with my niece, her husband and their 3 children, and two of my nephews children who all reside in Indy joined us for a memorable time at the cabin. 
 
My sister Vickie and her husband had never been to our cabin before.  They flew into Indianapolis and we drove together to the cabin.  Once we arrived we gave them the welcome tour of our Vacation Rentals Indiana Cabin and headed out to the back lower level deck that looks out onto Lake Webster.  We gathered around the picnic table and shared wonderful conversations as the sun was beginning to set and didn't go inside until way after dark.  We ordered in our favorite local pizza from the Lighthouse Restaurant and started up the fireplace. Our conversation and laughter continued until the wee hours of the morning.  The next day was full of activities including Big Sister Vickie and I going on a shopping adventure at Lance's Supermarket in North Webster, IN.  My Sister loves to cook so once you get her in a grocery store it can be hours before you leave:)  Meanwhile back at the cabin, Wes and my brother in law Maurice are cruising Lake Webster on the boat.  Wesley gives him the tour of all the Island houses, along with where all the best Muskie Fishing Indiana spots are located. Wesley gave a personal history lesson about his past life experiences with the cabin.  Once we arrived back to the cabin we all climbed aboard the boat and cruised Lake Webster for the better part of the day. On Sunday, the rest of the family arrives from Indy.  We all enjoyed the lake on two boats (our speedboat and Punk's Old Party Barge boat) The day unfolds to swimming, cookouts, fire pit marsh mellow roastings and inside games that followed prior to retiring to bed only to awake the next morning to a family gathering of biscuits and gravy breakfast served outside.  It was a  wonderful time and beautiful family memories where made. 
 
I would be remiss in this blog not to point out one missing family member in our gathering last Labor Day and that was my middle sister who passed away from breast cancer in 2005. My middle sister, Gema, shared a wonderful weekend here together with her husband and her youngest daughter in the fall of 2004.  My niece Molly, who visited us last year is her oldest daughter and we had a total of five of Gema's grandchildren with us this past Labor Day.  Her memory, and her smile lives on in two of Molly's children. 
 
Our Indiana Weekend Getaway Cabin is a beautiful place to make memories with friends and family!
