Maybe not, Ludmilla. In the opening pages of Moby Dick, Ismael is possibly of the same mind as yourself.

More prosaically, one of my nieces has a house high on the bank overlooking the lake. She sold a much bigger house inland to buy what amounts to a cottage. But with the lure of the Lake, she couldn't be happier.

A cottage at this spot must be a dreamy place to live! :girlsigh:

Thanks for the sweater love.
Hope health screening went well. :flowers:
(Had to google Starbuck - as I know Moby Dick only by title. Is the name of the famous coffee brand inspired by this?)

Healthy. :tup: And feisty.:tup::tup:

Oh yes. Starbucks named for Melville character:
The company took the name of the chief mate in the book Moby-Dick: Starbuck, after considering "Cargo House" and "Pequod". Bowker recalls that Terry Heckler, with whom Bowker owned an advertising agency, thought words beginning with "st" were powerful. The founders brainstormed a list of words beginning with "st".
Starbucks - Wikipedia

Their original siren logo from 16th century Nordic woodcut.
To capture sea image.

Glad screening went well. :smile:

Hehe. "Starbucks" is a cool name. The old siren with the bare breasts looks a bit like an old hag, too. Maybe she also got a lifting to look more modern.
