Our life at Northern Lights Resort, Preparing to RV Fulltime

08.25.13 Reviews of purchases for Dora our RV

We've been living the "on the road RV life"" since April 29th of this year.  We lived the "off the road parked in our own driveway RV life" for 5 months prior to that and we've learned so much about this unique lifestyle we and millions have chosen to live.  We've made several RV specific… Continue reading 08.25.13 Reviews of purchases for Dora our RV

08.10.13 Ladies in Pink, the Saints come marching in to Minnesota, Skyping with Madisyn and a dug flower garden!

Three of us came to the Saturday evening Meet and Greet wearing our pink Northern Lights Resort t-shirts so I asked one of the guys to take our picture and here we are. Worn out and frazzled but we've got that smile on our faces!   The Saints played Friday evening and surprise, surprise we… Continue reading 08.10.13 Ladies in Pink, the Saints come marching in to Minnesota, Skyping with Madisyn and a dug flower garden!

07.24.13 Roy ~~ the fish cleaner and BBQ chef!

Roy has turned into a fish cleaning fool!  Let me tell you!!  I on the other hand am proud that I've picked up a couple of live fish and moved them.  Hey at least I was willing to touch them.  Both Beth and Debbie know how to clean fish and I've heard quite a few… Continue reading 07.24.13 Roy ~~ the fish cleaner and BBQ chef!

07.18.13 May Flies, more riding toys, herbs from the garden and my poor, poor phone!

I’ve mentioned the flies and mosquitos in previous posts but today I saw something that needed to be captured in a picture so ya’ll could see how bad it can get up here.  This is the wall on the front of one of our cabins and those lovely little critters are MAY FLIES.  A lot of those… Continue reading 07.18.13 May Flies, more riding toys, herbs from the garden and my poor, poor phone!

07.15.13 Thanksgiving in July!

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!

07.03.13 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
