08.03.13 Blueberries, chipmunks and hummingbirds!

Blueberries, blueberries and more blueberries! We’ve heard about the delicious wild blueberries up here since we first arrived and they have finally ripened and are ready for pickin! Roy and I went out twice this week to pick some.  They are much tinier than regular blueberries but they taste just as great.  We’ve picked a… Continue reading 08.03.13 Blueberries, chipmunks and hummingbirds!

07.30.13 The Gideon Bibles are here!!!

When we were getting the cabins ready to open for the season I noticed that a couple had Gideon Bibles in the bedroom drawers.  I found that most did not have any.  Our family has always helped support the work of the Gideons through contributions at church when they would come to speak to us or… Continue reading 07.30.13 The Gideon Bibles are here!!!

07.28.13 Satellite dish upgrade, frost possible tonight, new neighbors and blueberries!

RV life brings with it some issues that have to be researched by each RVer based on their lifestyle and their desires and needs.  When you live in a sticks and bricks house you buy a TV and get the local cable guy to hook you up and it works, end of story.  If you live… Continue reading 07.28.13 Satellite dish upgrade, frost possible tonight, new neighbors and blueberries!

07.26.13 Brrrrrrrrrrrr, Bingo and VBS!

It is Friday, July 26th and the temperature here in Kabetogama, Minnesota at Noon is 54 degrees and windy.  When my laptop starts up it still shows me the current temperature in Hammond, Louisiana which was 90 degrees about an hour ago.  While it's way too cold up here right now, I am glad we're… Continue reading 07.26.13 Brrrrrrrrrrrr, Bingo and VBS!

Three days this week Kabetogama United Methodist Church held its Vacation Bible School.  Two of those days I was blessed to be able to help with the crafts part of their Hay Day - Growing in Friendship with Jesus VBS. They transformed their fellowship hall into a farm themed event with spaces for our crafts, for snacks and for moosic (music)… Continue reading 07.24.13 Kabetogama United Methodist Church Vacation Bible School – Wednesday

The Northern Lights Resort owners, Pat and Tom, decided to throw a Thanksgiving in July dinner for this week's guests and Monday was the event!  All the guests were notified through email before their arrival about it and asked to bring a side dish.  Most all of them know each other already from living close to each other… Continue reading 07.15.13 Thanksgiving in July!

07.11.13 Chipmunks, Loons, Awnings and Chives ~~~~~

My old boss Donna sent me this when we first moved.  I don't think I've ever included it in a blog post.  I guess this sign was talking about us since we retired up north!  We'll be back south during the winter but at least for now we're retired Northerners. We have two little chipmunks… Continue reading 07.11.13 Chipmunks, Loons, Awnings and Chives ~~~~~

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!

07.02.13 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
