Today was a beautiful, sunny day at Lake Florida and we decided it was time to break out a spring flag at the resort. Whenever there is a project, Simon is right there to help and take part. Let’s hope the snow realizes we are tied of it and melts!
Lake Florida sunset March 7
March 24, 2014 by
There were just enough clouds on March 7th to give us a spectacular sunset at Lake Florida. Sunsets like this with yellows, oranges and pink all melded together remind me of rainbow sherbet. If you use your imagination, you can see the ripples in the water 🙂 Bring your family to stay with us and […]
More snow drifts at the resort
March 24, 2014 by
We had a dusting of snow again at the resort and then the wind blew, and blew and blew!! The drifts around the cabins are even higher than before and have some interesting designs. This cabin was blasted by snow and appears to be “dripping snow ice!” Â The curl kind of looks like the top […]
Connie vs. the carpenters at Dickerson’s Resort!
March 23, 2014 by
We all have jobs to do at the resort this winter. The carpenters, Travis & Brian need to get the cabin built, Bob plays gopher and Connie needs to decorate. I told Travis & Brian they needed to hurry because I was almost finished with the wall hanging for above the fireplace. When they came […]
A long winter at the resort
March 23, 2014 by
It’s been a long winter at Lake Florida. We haven’t had overly much snow, but we have had way too much wind and really cold temperatures. Schools, churches and activities have been cancelled more than ever (or so it seems) Because we were going to be building a new cabin, we put up our snow […]
Cabin #9 gets it’s last window!
February 24, 2014 by
Travis & Brian were going to put in the last window in cabin #9 this morning, so mid morning I went to see how things were going. I think they have been trying to see how long they can have it in the cabin without breaking it! (or maybe it was the wind that delayed […]

Cabin #9 was set on it’s new foundation today! Watch as it goes from the beams… … to the new foundation The cabin is replacing a 1970’s class C motor home (seen in the background). Thanks to Darrin for sending the pictures and to Marcus Building Movers for a job well done moving the cabin! […]
On the Road with cabin #9
February 19, 2014 by
Thursday February 13, 2014 Thursday the weather was horrible and the cabin move was put on hold. We received about 1/2 inch of snow and winds up to 50 mph. Not a good day for pulling a cabin down the road! Friday morning Today is a beautiful day and Marcus’s will move the cabin to […]
Finishing the interior walls in cabin #9
February 16, 2014 by
Now that the sheetrock has been taped and painted it is time to put up the knotty pine wood on the walls of cabin #9. Travis and Brian were here bright and early on Friday morning to get started. The guys each worked in their own bedroom. Do you suppose that was so they wouldn’t […]
Sheetrock, heating & air in cabin #9 1-28-14
January 30, 2014 by
On Tuesday morning Travis, Brian & Justin came to hang more sheet rock in cabin #9. Pat also came from Magnuson Sheet Metal to begin installing the furnace & air conditioning. (yeah, like who needs air conditioning in this weather!) The 3 carpenters quickly worked themselves out of work and had to leave and let […]
