Sunset on June 6th

Sunset from cabin #2 at Dickerson’s   Every sunset is a gift and they’re all different. Isn’t it amazing!? Sure glad great granddad picked this spot on the east side of Lake Florida! We have a great beach & beautiful sunsets!

Fun on Memorial Weekend

  What a great Memorial Day Weekend we had! We had nice guests and the weather was better than we expected. DeeAnn was here with her daughter Birhane who is from Ethiopia. What a little cutie!

Wednesday, May 25th – Sunset

  The sunset on Wednesday night was beautiful-again!   Owning a resort is allot of work, but we are just so lucky to live on the east side and get to see these beautiful sunsets almost every night.

Fun from the long Minnesota winter

  “Once upon a time” in the long winter of 2010/2011 we must have lost our minds- or at least the capacity to think rationally. The story goes like this:   We were channel surfing and came across a Peter Yarrow Special on TPT (Twin Cities Public Television) We don’t watch TPT too often, but […]

The Long Minnesota Winter!

The long Minnesota winter keeps rolling along! Last Tuesday night the cabins and resort were blanketed with about 9 more inches of heavy, wet snow! Even our tractor/snow blower is tired of winter. It has aches and pains and really would like to be finished.  The tractor is eagerly waiting the snow blower being  taken […]
