Breakfast and Trout Derby Painters...

Sunday we had breakfast with friends at Trail Center and then continued up the Gunflint Trail to Gunflint Lodge on Gunflint Lake. Betsy, Tom, and Neil painted while the Trout Derby carried on nearby.

The Storm is Over and The Sun is Shining

We woke up to a wonderful sun. I documented the events from the warmth of the house with the photographs above of Betsy reveling in the sun while the horse just stands there,and Betsy shoveling out the truck as I just stand there.

Finally Got Our Snow...

In the middle of the night it finally started snowing. We got about six inches. Everywhere else in Minnesota got two feet. So it goes....David had to head for work at Portage, and Betsy worked in her art shack at home...

Preparing for Africa

We are preparing for a trip to Africa in May to visit Phil and Paige. I understand there may be animals I will want to take pictures of too...ha. It is a great opportunity and we are blessed.

We're going to get a bunch of shots in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I guess Canadians go to yellow fever places too.

Dog Sledding from Devil Track to Trail Center, Gunflint Trail...

Sunday Betsy, Kay, and David followed the dog sleds up the Gunflint Trail. It was the perfect winter day with snow and mild temperatures...and no wind...

It's Snowing...

Four inches so far and it's supposed to keep up for two days...let's hope...
