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 […]

We never get tired of watching the sunset. On our way to Saturday night church in Willmar we got these shots of the sunset. This picture is from the north side public access of Lake Florida. Notice all of the tracks from cars and pick-ups driving out onto the lake to go fishing. Have you […]
Cabin #9 gets windows!
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 […]
The cupboards for cabin #9
January 25, 2014 by
My cousin Bill and his wife Kathy will be building the kitchen cupboards and bathroom vanities for cabin #9. When we were finished measuring in the cabin we had donuts and coffee.

A beautiful winter day at Lake Florida

Something new on the beach for the children at the resort
January 9, 2014 by
We’re always looking for new things for the resort. This week Bob found a new jungle gym for the children. Bob loves to look at the want ads/for sale section of the newspaper. He found a family selling their jungle gym which was almost new-disassembly required. The family is moving and can’t take it with […]
