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 […]

The night sky 3-20-12

The sunset wasn’t much to show, but we thought the sky at the end was very interesting!

Let’s put the dock in!

The ice went off Lake Florida yesterday so today’s first project is to put the gas dock in. Because the sand is pushed up so much it is going to be a challenge, but we are up to it! Just so you know, Bob didn’t do all of that work by himself. The 2 of […]

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.

A trip to New London on 3-17-12

Saturday was a fun day. A trip to New London was in our plans. Last summer the town was “under construction” with new streets and a new dam being built. It is great to see the projects completed and we look forward to all of our guests going in this season to see the changes. […]

Friday at Dickerson’s Resort

The weather here in March is unbelievable. The snow is almost gone and the ice continues to get darker. Today we had a coffee break on the Adirondack Swing which spent the winter on cabin #1 deck. This is the view of the beach and Lake Florida as we are sitting on the swing. The […]

The Lake Florida Sunset 3-15-12

Tonight I started the sunset at cabin #12. Then I walked to the south end of the resort. This is where the slide and more docks spent the winter. 🙂 The end of the sunset at 7:22 as seen from the front of our house at the beach.
