As we look out our kitchen window this morning, we see the guys shingling cabin #1 and the ice crushing on Lake Florida. The ice has gotten very dark and thin. Now with the wind blowing it is breaking up, crushing onto itself and melting.We pray that the wind doesn’t get any stronger or the […]
The resort cat, the squirrel & the sunset
March 19, 2016 by
March 6th was a beautiful day at the resort and the cats enjoyed being outside. Climbing trees and chasing after us occupied their time most of the day. Simon found a red squirrel and cornered it up in a tree convinced that he could get it. Of course the red squirrel was much smaller and […]

Winter hobbies at the resort
February 10, 2016 by
Sometimes in the winter, after all of the Christmas cards are finished, the confirmations have been sent and any other important resort tasks have been done, we get time for a hobby (when we’re not shoveling snow!).

Today was a beautiful, sunny day at Lake Florida and we decided it was time to break out a spring flag at the resort. Whenever there is a project, Simon is right there to help and take part. Let’s hope the snow realizes we are tied of it and melts!
