Over the years Wendy and I have thought about how we want to spend our vacations. There are amazingly cool cabins like this cabin in Minnesota but land in Saskatchewan is a hot commodity, do we want to get a Boler and pull it around the world? While I wish I did like camping more, I really don’t and neither does Wendy. That being said, getting away to a big city can be a little costly as well.

Ahhhh…April. It’s that time of year in Minnesota where good ole’ cabin fever is at its peak. For our warmer climate Skittle-readers, cabin fever is an acute restlessness that sets in after many months of being cooped inside from the harsh winters. The affected may dream about green grass, blue skies, and sleeping with the window open. A healthy dose of sunshine and playing outside are the only cures to shake a northerner free from this affliction. And when Minnesotans want to get outside, we p

Winter’s last surprise(we hope!) April 26th, 2008 Well, they said we were going to get this and we tried not to believe them, but….. As so noon on April 26, 2008, we had 8? to10? of new snow and it was still falling. The concern, of course, it that April 26 is very close to May 10. And May 10 is opening of fishing season in Minnesota. In those two weeks, we have a lot to get done, not the least of which is melting all that snow and the 8? or so of ice still floating on the lake in front of t

http://www.startribune.com/opinion/editorials/18154139.html Ah, I have been dreading this post for a long time. Margarets Father passed away last weekend. He was 79. Blaine lived and fought with COPD, a wierd lung disorder for the last four years. If you spoke to him he would say that he was not in pain or that he was dealing ok, but the reality was that he could not breathe. He was on oxygen, he was on a plethora of medications and he was driving like a mad man in his motor cart. Despite this

re: my home & my heart - this is an essay in response to a solicitation for stories about where exactly home is for you, given the modern view of a house as a piece of investment, a bank-account with a lawn. I grew up getting moved around. Dad was in the Air Force. Divorce hit. Mom and us kids were in N.J. staying with my Grandmother. Her house, which had been the ‘house on the shore’ (New Jersey equivalent of the cabin on the lake) had been our wayfaring point as we moved. California, posted t
