Hummer
Up north last week at Deer Trail Resort in Longville for about the 40th year in a row, the Hummingbirds were out in force; as they are every years. I spent most of my life not noticing — despite the fact that I’ve been a bird lover since third grade, when I had a teacher who […]
Gas
Back at Deer Trail resort for the not-sure-how-manyith time. I remember the very first time I was up here; might have been in the mid-1960’s. Here was a resort with an outdoor screened in snack bar, huge stone grill, playground; all the extras. The resort we had stayed at during the summers before we stayed […]
Just enjoy it.
The last two weekends up north have been really special when it comes to skies; although I guess it usually is. This weekend on Saturday a big storm front blew through. A few hours later we were out fishing and afterwards Tom took the camera and went outside and took some photos of the sun going down. […]
More colorsworth…
When it comes to getting the most bang for your buck — due primarily to color — not much out there beats a chartreuse spinner bait; hopefully from the Northland Tackle Company.

Getting your colorsworth…
Kathryn bought a HUGE bundle of gladiolas from the County Market in Aitkin, MN. this weekend. They were about 3 feet long, FULL of blooms and a blazing with color. They were FABULOUS! We got our money’sworth and our colorsworth. Fabulous.
Pod
Driving home from the lake last Tuesday morning I caught something out the corner of my eye. About forty or fifty yard off shore out in Lake Mille Lacs there looked like a long row of ducks. Nope. Pelicans! Thirty or forty of them. I never seen a pelican north of the Florida Keys; but they do live […]
Gassed
Elle and Tommy are back from Europe! After over two weeks we are hooking up for ice cream; we’ll be able to plan our week. Friday, we are heading up to the cabin for July 4th. Staying five days. Saturday is a fish fry in honor of Taylor’s graduation. One of the last things I did […]
Missing Kids
Elle and Tommy headed off for Europe yesterday. They have been psyched for months, and rightly so — looking forward to two weeks in London, Paris and Rome; they are going through the Chunnel, taking trains and flying.
Really a resident
I always wanted to live in Minnesota — as far back as I can remember.
Stuck. Envious.
Once a year I fly to Houston to play golf with my brother and other family members.
