Mm Mm Summery Goodness

There is a restaraunt within walking distance of the motel called RBJ's that has wonderful food! Homemade soups, stuffed frenchtoast, homemade jams, and in the summer they make homemade rhubarb slush. Sometimes you get strawberry rhubarb. Sometimes you get just straight up rhubarb. They are so good!

Lakefront Property?

We had a very rainy spring this year. At my old house when it rained the water would just drain into the ground. Here it takes a little longer for it to drain. My yard doesn't flood after every rain, but it had rained off and on all week and on this particular day it rained really hard.

The Beauty Around The Motel

Some of the pretty things I get to look at every day at the motel.

We Do More Laundry By 10am Than Most People Do All Day

Just a little look into what I do during the day.

I Want To Ride My Bicycle - Parts II & III

Over the last 2 weeks we were lucky enough to have 2 more long distance bicyclists stay with us. One was biking from Seattle to Boston. He averaged 100 miles a day and on the day he stopped in to stay with us he had ridden 170 miles. I hate riding that long in a car. The second one was riding from one end of Canada to the other. This time I was not here to meet them so I did not get as much information as I did the other. I also missed out on taking pictures of their bike set-ups.

You Have To Go South To Go Up North. Figure That One Out.

Growing up in the southern half of Minnesota all summer you hear people say they are going "up north" for the weekend. As a kid I always wondered where do the people who live up north go on the weekend. Farther north? Canada?

Well, now I know. We go south. This summer we have had 3 camping trips taken already and about 3 or 4 more planned. All of them have or will take us south. Being this far north pretty much the next major destination is Winnipeg, Canada. Maybe next year we will have to get our passports and head "up north".

Happy Belated Birthday

Last Thursday, June 10, was Kelly's birthday. He has never been big on celebrating his birthday so we usually just go out for dinner and have cake. This year I figured I would post it on the internet. Happy Birthday to the best husband in the world!!
