There is a big decision to be made in cabin #9. There is a small wall in the livingroom that needs an accent color. I’m thinking blue or green. Blue is said to have a calming effect. Today we are trying out blue like the water of Lake Florida. Maybe tomorrow I will try painting […]

Welcome Spring to Lake Florida!
April 11, 2014 by
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!
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!” The curl kind of looks like the top […]

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 […]
