A lot of work and saving pays off BIG.

My wife and I have spent most summer weekends for the past 6 years looking for a house and property in the country that we both loved. This is it! We close the deal on July 23rd and take possession August 2nd.

I'm looking forward to mowing 3 or so of the 10 acres on or about 08/03/09, and Mama C. is... well, I'll talk about that another time. Check Other Photos for additional pictures.

There's an attitude for all seasons

My wife and I are reaching for a a long held dream, even though we're both in the Autumn of our years.

Some might say, "you really should be thinking Winter"; our attitudes, however, tell us it's still Autumn.

We're in the market for a house in the country (with acreage) to make our home -- most likely our last, in this life. The search and the weighing of some seemingly imponderable considerations have brought me closer to my Higher Power (which I call God) and other metaphysical thoughts.

This being one of them:

Lake Superior Ice

Here's a current picture of the ice conditions on Lake Superior, Duluth, MN. This is a shot looking south from Brighton Beach -- on the north side of Duluth. Park Point, on the horizon, is about 5.5 miles away. Our Inland Sea did not ice up much this year in spite of the numerous -15 to -20 degree nights. We'll see what spring and summer bring, but so far this reminds me of the winters we had when we first moved to Duluth in 1971.

And all but Grandpa F. were there!

Dædo and Mama C., Grandma, the bride and groom (Mr & Mrs Steve Homick), brother Paul and his family, and the 3 sisters ,(Tanya, Tracy, Ginny) and their families -- the clan now numbers 24!

Grandpa F. is in a nursing home and couldn't make it to the wedding.

The last of five marries! Congrats Steph & Steve!

Bearhead Lake State Park

Davy and Mrs. Crockett begin a 3 day trip to Bearhead Lake State Park, Ely, MN.

Base Camp, Bearhead Lake, North Bay, Ely, MN

According to the compass and this map our base camp is bearing 260�.

First day has been a long one -- Chili Dogs are just what the Dr. Dædo ordered.

Up early the last day hoping for a Moose sighting.

Looks like Mama C has been using Tide on Dædo's shirt!
