We are very fortunate to have many trees at the resort to provide shade for the cabins. With each tree there is always a nut or seed that falls needing clean up! Many, many years ago, Bob’s grandfather brought a Black Walnut Tree in a coffee can from Lucan, Minnesota where he was from and […]
5-8 Leaky waders!
June 10, 2013 by
Having the ice go off of Lake Florida is one of the best signs of spring. This year, we have waited & waited & waited! Putting in the docks is an exciting time too. Being able to walk out and look at the beatiful water is so much fun. We have to wait for […]
5-7 A beautiful day at Dickerson’s!
June 2, 2013 by
We woke up this morning in great anticipation that the ice would be gone from Lake Florida. It was not, but we think “today is the day!” There are many flowers still to be planted and with the sun shining it is a beautiful day to do it! This is a picture from the hill […]
Another beautiful sunset
May 12, 2013 by
It was a busy day at the resort. We had some things that needed to be taken out of cabin #13. We loaded glass, some windows that the repair man can use the mechanisms from, a couple of garbage containers and miscellaneous recycling into the pickup and sent Bob off to Willmar to get rid […]
A new project at Dickerson’s
May 11, 2013 by
Today is an exciting day. Magnuson Sheet Metal showed up to do a project for us. They are a Heating & Air Conditioning Company! Lauren & Ben came to start the installation of a furnace and air conditioning in cabin #13. This will be a welcome addition to our resort! Of course, this would have […]
The first bloom at Dickerson’s Resort
January 7, 2013 by
As anyone who has stayed at Dickerson’s Resort knows, we have many, many blooming flowers and Hostas. There are flower boxes on the cabins & potted flowers everywhere. When the resort season is over we bring many of the greens inside to keep them for the winter and use in the flower boxes in the […]
May-it’s the cabin flower boxes
July 9, 2012 by
Now that we have been to our first greenhouse, it’s time to get planting. It’s very exciting and fun to have some new flowers we’ve never had before. Planting is a big job, but so much fun on a beautiful spring day! We had a good day and got a lot done. As you can […]
A few little projects at the resort
May 5, 2012 by
We do more around here than take pictures of the sunset. 🙂 I have been washing some of the sidewalk boards and decks each day in between other projects. When Chris came to help with the beach, we had a small accident and one of the Adirondack swings got broken. It only took 6 different […]
4-14-12 Fixing the Beach
May 4, 2012 by
We have been working on moving sand on the beach before the ice went off of Lake Florida. On Saturday, the 14th of April, Chris from 4 Seasons Lawn & Dock came with a track skid loader and pushed the sand around for us. Oh our aching backs are happy! We are so thankful Chris […]
A Big Resort Project – The Chairs
April 22, 2012 by
We have a project for the resort that was started many (I mean more than 25) years ago that has never been finished. One day we had a conversation about it and decided that 2012 would be the year to finish. We used to have Adirondack chairs at the resort. About 50 years ago, Bob’s […]
