The first sunset in March – 3-1-2013

Here it is – the first sunset in March at Dickerson’s Resort. Many of our pictures have been from the same spot. The snow around the cabins is so deep it makes it hard to get around! Just 1 picture today. The sun was so bright and the sky was cloudless, so it disappeared quickly! […]

Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort Sunset 2-27-2013

Another beautiful sunset! The snow drifts between the cabins This is the view of the sunset from the deck of cabin #9. Thankfully, we don’t have snow in the summer -you can barely see Lake Florida over the drift! 🙂   This picture is zoomed in which makes the sunset pretty dramatic! The END! That’s […]

Snow vs. water

It’s another day of creativity at the resort. I got the idea to pack a 5 gallon pail full of snow and have our fans on Facebook guess how much water would be in the bucket when the snow melted. We got many people to guess-anywhere from 1/2 inch up to 7 inches. I brought […]

A little Dickerson’s winter humor.

Maybe winter is getting too long or maybe I’ve spent too much time trying to think of creative ideas for Facebook. One day as I was in the resort store riding my bike I looked out and thought, “we should do something with the canoe!” ‘Something’ would not be easy as the canoe is on […]

Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort The sunset 2-24-2013

Today while I was out waiting to take sunset pictures I walked down the beach to the north. When I got to the jungle gym in front of cabin #7, look what I found! There is beach showing under the jungle gym while 15 feet away there is a 6 foot high snow drift!On with […]

Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort The Sunset 2-23-13

We’ve had many cloudy days here at the resort which means we don’t always get a picture of the sunset. Today was very unusual. The sky looked kind of stormy and mysterious-kind of like it should be Halloween. We zoomed in to take another picture of the sunset. It makes the colors more vivid and […]

A fun winter activity

It’s not all work and no play at the resort. In the winter, I am part of the quilting group at our church which meets every Thursday afternoon. We make quilts to give to all of the graduating seniors, guilts for hospice, fire victims, the womens shelter and many go to the poor and starving […]

Bob at the National Pheasant Fest

Pheasant Fest February 15-17 was the National Pheasant Fest in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Southern Minnesota Tourism had a booth there and members of the tourism committee took turns working in the booth promoting tourism in Southern Minnesota. Bob was there on Saturday and Sunday helping. Bob was happy to see how many Kandiyohi County Outdoors Enthusiasts […]

Relaxing on a cold, blustery day at the lake

Sometimes, in the middle of the winter when you’ve had just about as much blowing snow as you can stand, you just need to take a break. That is just what Sasha and I did.  We picked the spot on the floor right next to the furnace register. The cats and I can never be […]

Valentines Dinner in cabin #12

The Wine We invited all of our neighbors on the east side of Lake Florida and a couple of other friends to a Valentines Dinner. We told the guests we would make a big pot of chile and drink lots of wine. It was time to check the wine supply. As you can see below, […]
