07.08.13 Super riding toys!

Some of our previous guests brought really cool water toys for pulling behind the boats or just general water play.  This week’s guests brought some and I took pictures to share.  Our friends who have camps probably see these things on the rivers and lakes all the time but for us water deprived folks it’s… Continue reading 07.08.13 Super riding toys!

07.04.13 International Falls Minnesota Independence Day Parade!

  For Independence Day Roy and I went into the nearest town (population approx. 6,900) International Falls for their parade.  I tried to not expect anything like our parades especially the New Orleans variety and was pleasantly surprised at how delightful it was.  I believe all  the emergency vehicles from all surrounding towns were in… Continue reading 07.04.13 International Falls Minnesota Independence Day Parade!

07.03.13 AT&T Store Representative LIVES to see another day

At least you know by the title that there was no murder involved in our visit to the ATT store today. We drove the 100 miles to Virginia, Minnesota to the tiny little ATT store there.  A very nice young man named Mike asked if he could help us.  As nice and briefly as I could… Continue reading 07.03.13 AT&T Store Representative LIVES to see another day

07.02.13 A T & T – grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This post is mostly for RVers but could be helpful to anyone who has the need of a GO phone.  I believe this post rivals the Conroe, TX blog in length but definitely does not have as happy an ending. A GO phone is a prepaid phone which can or does not have to be renewed… Continue reading 07.02.13 A T & T – grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

06.30.13 Our Saturday evening surprise!

After a long hard Saturday work day which ended at 8 pm we were settling down in our RV and heard a little knock, knock, knock at the door.  It was Tom, the resort's owner, with a present for us.  He previously told us he was going to try to get this for us, but we didn't… Continue reading 06.30.13 Our Saturday evening surprise!

06.25.13 Pies, flies, surfboards and robins!

The high here was 86 on Tuesday which was a shocker to us. I've heard it's been around 100 in Louisiana for a few days so I shouldn't complain.  However the cabins and the lodge do not have a/c because it's pretty much never needed.  The lodge temp showed 84 but the kids don't mind… Continue reading 06.25.13 Pies, flies, surfboards and robins!
