The Hot Tub is IN!

 We started this process in early January and the project was completed at the end of February. The trifecta is complete. Jody, Jeff and we all have a 'Tub.'

Some Old Pictures!

Jeff and the entire family sent me some old slides and a digital converter that converts slides to digital. The first three pictures are around Lake Michigan on the Michigan side. What do you think? O yes, the hot tub is coming! I think, hope ....

Everglade City and the Everglade National Park

We had a fine day in Everglade City with Dave and Roxanne this past week. Everglade City is the start of the Everglades National Park. It is 99 miles from Everglade City to Flamingo by boat. That may be my next boat trip. The boat pictures were a little ride we took with the Park Service. Nice picture of the porpoise.  O yes, the pictures of us are from The (famous) Rod and Gun Club where John Wayne and others stars and the likes of us were there. And yes, Dave still makes super great steaks on the grill!!

One very hard puzzle that Jody and Todd gave to Holly for her Birthday. Let see is she 29 or is it 39, I just can not remember. This was a very tough puzzle to complete. We always were saying that this piece should be easy to find, but it never was. Thanks to Todd and Jody and Kids for our great time trying to finish this thing. Now we move on to the hot tub installation. More to come!

Gasparilla Island

These pictures were taken in Gasparilla Island, near Boca Grand Pass. The tatered building is part of the Whidden Marina, founded in 1926. I landed my water filled boat at this marina last year with a 28 inch gash in the hull. It was a real life-saver for us as we had no intention of swiming with the sharks at Boca Pass. This past week I rode my bike on the West side of the Island for about 3 miles on the beach and about 17 additional miles on the Island.

Minnesota State Fair 2010

The new pickle booth at the Minnesota State Fair, 2010. It is a nonstop 'pickle delivery' system! These pictures were taken Saturday morning around 11:00AM and it was nonstop pickle consumption at that early hour!!

A Look at the 2011 Calendar

Here is a page from my 2011 calendar; it is a little busy, but I think the kids will love it! All the animals on each page of the calendar are pictures taken when we all went to the Minnesota Zoo.

Tough Day at the Office!
