It was another beautiful November day at Lake Florida. We are still monitoring the lake level until freeze up. We had another beautiful sunset today. Here it is from beginning to end. Watching the sunset over Lake Florida is always a special treat. We hope you enjoy it too!

January 6, 2014 by
On Monday, November 4th I was busy making donuts for Bob’s mother’s 90th birthday when the phone rang. It was Keith from Collin’s Construction wondering if the wood for the cabin was here. I said no, but then I looked out the window and yes, there was a Perkins Lumber Truck just pulling up to […]

Wednesday morning before 8:00, Wade & Greg arrived to start digging the footings for cabin #9. Digging the footings in an existing cabin is a little more work than starting from scratch.

We had a wonderful summer at the resort. We had many, many wonderful guests, made new friends and watched at least 100 beautiful sunsets! The beach & water were the place for much of the activity.

The last April sunset

Tonight was the last sunset in April at Dickerson’s Resort. We had to wait until the very end, but it was worth it. The crack in the Lake Florida ice shows hope for an ice off soon-we think! 🙂
