05.30.13 A true fish story with pictures!

We've heard much about the Northern Pike being really slimy and hard to clean. Then some people started telling us how delicious they could be once you've done the cleaning.  This evening, after baking the cake that didn't come out so great looking but really did taste fine, I decided to go back to the lake… Continue reading 05.30.13 A true fish story with pictures!

Our life at Northern Lights Resort

05.28.13 Dinners with the peeps!

  Sunday night our neighbors Annie and Russ invited us over for a wonderful dinner of giant fried burritos.  I've never eaten a burrito but I believe these are very different than the normal variety you get in a restaurant.  After we loaded the wrap with whatever we wanted we folded them over on two sides and then… Continue reading 05.28.13 Dinners with the peeps!

There's a lot to learn… Continue reading 05.24.13 Second week of getting the resort ready to kick into full gear!

Our life at Northern Lights Resort

05.13.13 What’s down the road toward the lake?

After church yesterday Roy and I took a walk off the Resort grounds toward the largest part of Lake Kabetogama.  It was a beautiful sight with the ice mostly all melted, and the houses along the road were all beautiful log cabins with one having an eagle carved out of a tree along their driveway. … Continue reading 05.13.13 What’s down the road toward the lake?

05.11.13 What is it like here in Kabetogama, MN?

We are settling in at Northern Lights Resort & Outfitters and have much to learn about this workamping lifestyle. The trip in was really nice.  Once we got to Minnesota things seemed to get prettier without all the farmlands we saw going through North and South Dakota.   Every inch of the land along side the … Continue reading 05.11.13 What is it like here in Kabetogama, MN?

05.09.13 An open letter to my Mama on Mother’s Day

Happy Mother's Day Mama... It's been five years since I was able to look into your beautiful shining eyes and hold your fragile little hands to say I love you.  It was probably two years before that time when you still knew it was your daughter Rosalyn saying those words to you.  The erosion of your… Continue reading 05.09.13 An open letter to my Mama on Mother’s Day

05.07.13 We’re now South Dakota residents :) goodbye Louisiana residency :(

Twas a sad and emotional day today turning in our treasured Louisiana drivers licenses and getting our shiny new South Dakota licenses.   Kind of felt like we are turning our backs on the state of our birth.  Still more shedding of our Louisiana connections tomorrow when we register our vehicles, register to vote and change our… Continue reading 05.07.13 We’re now South Dakota residents :) goodbye Louisiana residency :(

Arrived in Linn Valley, Kansas at 4 pm on Sunday May 5th (Cinco de Mayo) and stayed overnight at Linn Valley Lakes.  This is another Coast to Coast Resort so our stay only cost us $9 for the night to cover their  additional electrical charge.  While it was a far cry from the professionally maintained resort we left in… Continue reading 05.06.13 Kansas back to Missouri, then Iowa and finally South Dakota!
