This morning Keith & Travis came to start hanging the sheetrock in the cabin. Decisions now need to be made as to what walls will be painted and which ones will have wood on them. As we were coming back to the house the sun was setting. Notice that it is 5:19. The days are […]

January 29, 2014 by
Weather is always a topic of conversation in Minnesota and today was no different. We typically drive Bob’s pickup to church, but today we drove my car because it lives in the garage and has heated seats! We had our annual meeting so by the time we were finished and ready to leave it was […]

Tonight we are looking at the sunset through the bedroom window in cabin #9. It has a beautiful view of the sunset during the winter months when no one is here! It will have a nice view during our resort season also looking right over cabin #8. Notice that the drifts are now almost as […]

January 25, 2014 by
The cabin windows came yesterday. Travis & Brian put a couple of them in late in the day, but it was too dark to get pictures. Keith, Travis & Ryan were all here today to put all of the rest of them in. It will be so much quieter and maybe a little warmer. Our […]
