Winterfest in Spicer, Minnesota

2013 Winterfest in Spicer, Minnesota Since ice is the middle of Spicer’s name, it’s only logical that there would be a winterfest which centers around ICE. One of the main attractions almost every year is a castle made of ice and a slide. You can see the Ice Castle on the Spicer website  – take […]

Dickerson’s Resort sunset 1-8-13

The sunset at Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort on January 8,2013 I love a sunset like tonight. It reminds me of orange sherbet! Sasha & Simon waiting for the sun to set at 4:40 Our cats, Simon & Sasha had such a good time running around in the snow. They love to have us come outside […]

The end of summer at Dickerson’s Resort

November 30,2012 It’s been a great vacation season at Dickerson’s Resort, but as you can see by the ice on Lake Florida, it is time to take the gage out. (maybe past time!) The gage is put in by the DNR in the spring and we read the lake level every few days to make […]

A Big Resort Project – The Chairs

We have a project for the resort that was started many (I mean more than 25) years ago that has never been finished. One day we had a conversation about it and decided that 2012 would be the year to finish.  We used to have Adirondack chairs at the resort. About 50 years ago, Bob’s […]

Another “little” project at Dickerson’s Resort

It seems that every day normal work turns into a project. Today, I went up to the back yard to clean up leaves and clean out the hostas and day lillies. A tree had broken off years ago, but we had kept the trunk which held a flower pot each year. The tree stump had […]

Lake Florida Sunset 4-3-12

Bob went to St. Cloud today to continue a project we’re working on. I don’t remember exactly what I did -  moved some sand on the beach, washed some cabin decks, put a coat of varnish on the window casings for cabin #7, etc. Getting the pictures of the sunset was probably the most important […]

And the beach goes on at Lake Florida

The clean up of the leaves that blew in continues. Here’s another picture of Bob cleaning the leaves out of the lake and off of the beach. We hauled the leaves to the garage apron of cabin #13. Normally, they could go right into the trailer, but it was being used for a different project.They […]

Lunch with friends

On Thursday morning we received a phone call from Wayne & Bonnie who live in Burnsville. They wanted to have lunch with us. (Maybe they secretly wanted to see if anyone was staying in “their cabin #3” 🙂 We had errands in Willmar so we met at The Oaks Restaurant at Eagle Creek Golf Course. […]
