Thursday Nov, 28th the guys added more walls to the cabin. They temorarily put up part of the second story wall so we could visualize it overnight. (in the dark!) 🙂 The room on the left is the livingroom and on the right is a bedroom. One of these days the old cabin #9 will […]

On November 25th the wood arrived for cabin #9. Now the carpenters can start building the cabin walls. We are thankful for all the different kinds of machines there are. This would be alot of wood to unload by hand! Just imagine all this wood as a brand new cabin #9! The last time we […]
Lake Florida sunset over Ice!
January 14, 2014 by
Today we had our first Lake Florida sunset over ice! The wind did go down and Lake Florida is as smooth as glass! There is an area about 20 feet wide where the ice was chunking up yesterday, but after that it is really smooth. For us the ice is a sign that all of […]
A little ice on Lake Florida
January 14, 2014 by
In Spicer, Minnesota we have 2 slogans that play on our name. One of them is “Spicer is Nicer” and the other is, “Ice is our middle name.” We are rapidly approaching the time of year when this is very appropriate. In January and February, we celebrate winter with the Spicer Ice Fest. This morning […]
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 […]

First snow at Lake Florida
January 6, 2014 by
On Wednesday, Nov. 6 we woke up to our first snowfall of the season at Lake Florida. Lake Florida is still liquid, but the docks which are still in the water were covered in 1/2 inch of beautiful white as were the cabin roofs. This is probably a sign that it is time to get […]
The wood for cabin #9 arrived-let the fun begin!
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 […]
