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 ~~~~~

07.04.13 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!

06.23.13 Let us go into the house of the Lord

Psalm 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Today we were blessed to be able to attend church after a few weeks of missing.  We have not been able to find a Southern Baptist church up here.  However, there is a small  Methodist church… Continue reading 06.23.13 Let us go into the house of the Lord
