My family rented a cottage for a week every summer at Krebs Lane Cottages in Port Austin, MI for over a decade in the 1980s and 1990s when I was growing up. I remember Wendy and Dave were always so friendly and accommodating. My Mom and I used to sit on the red swing overlooking the lake and paint our toenails. I remember Wendy always had hot pink toenails, and would compliment our toenail colors. It's a small thing, but I always remembered her fondly. I was very sorry to hear that Dave passed away recently as well. They were such kind people who brought so much joy to people through the cottages that they rented. The times I spent on Krebs Lane are some of my favorite childhood memories.
