Lake Florida Sunset 4-3-12

Bob went to St. Cloud today to continue a project we’re working on. I don’t remember exactly what I did -  moved some sand on the beach, washed some cabin decks, put a coat of varnish on the window casings for cabin #7, etc. Getting the pictures of the sunset was probably the most important […]

And the beach goes on at Lake Florida

The clean up of the leaves that blew in continues. Here’s another picture of Bob cleaning the leaves out of the lake and off of the beach. We hauled the leaves to the garage apron of cabin #13. Normally, they could go right into the trailer, but it was being used for a different project.They […]

April 1st – no fooling!

Bob left at 7:15 to drive to Mpls and work in the Kandiyohi County booth and promote tourism in our county. On the way he stopped and picked up Gordie Bloomquist to help him. While Bob was working at the show, I took care of all of our church obligations. In the afternoon I put […]

Lunch with friends

On Thursday morning we received a phone call from Wayne & Bonnie who live in Burnsville. They wanted to have lunch with us. (Maybe they secretly wanted to see if anyone was staying in “their cabin #3” 🙂 We had errands in Willmar so we met at The Oaks Restaurant at Eagle Creek Golf Course. […]

A “Little ” Project & a Sunset 3-27-12

Today we went to get another Adirondack swing out of storage and found a “little” project to do as well. As you can see there is another project here as well. One of the handles broke on the wheel barrow. When we opened the Adirondack swing box, we found parts of a used swing and […]

Work on the beach

Today was the day we started working on the beach. We have tons of sand to move before the guys come to put the docks in! The first Adirondack swing is set and leveled. Only 2 picnic tables and 4 more swings to move to the beach. At the end of the day we were […]

Another day, another table-3-23-12

The table project yesterday was so much fun that we decided to tackle another one today. Today, the sun was shining so we got to work outside which made it even better. Since we had practiced yesterday, this should have gone more quickly today. It didn’t. Some of the holes didn’t line up and we […]

3-22-12 Today’s Project

Today’s resort project was putting a new top and benches on a picnic table. We are using Ultra Deck composite decking material. We hope it will last much longer than wood and will be drier to sit on when it rains. It was a gray drizzly day, so the work had to be done in […]

A Big Day at the Lake-3-18-12

When we got up this morning Bob didn’t think this would be the Big Day. That’s the day the ice goes off. When we got home from church there was quite a bit of open water. An hour later the wind came up and suddenly there was even less ice! Bob went to the neighbors […]

Lake Florida sunset 3-17-12

This could be the last sunset at the resort this spring with ice on the lake. The warm temperatures continue and the wind keeps breaking the ice apart where it has cracks. Notice the reflection in the open water.
