    Somewhere in Minnesota....

    Is this cabin where I was last week. I wish I was still there. I am NOT looking forward to work tomorrow.



    And here is a view of the lake:

    Great cabin with a wonderful view. Where's those nice adirondack chairs you could have made.

      Wow, that looks nice. Did you leave any fish in the lake?

        Nice place, and seems very well cared for. I am surprised though the mosquitoes didn't drag you away.

          That is where my in-laws spend their summers. Gerti, supposedly Minnesota has mosquitos that can fly you away but we've been up every year since 2003 for at least a week a stretch and they'e never been a problem for me. I don't know if it's the area or just they don't like me any more.

            Nice place. If you can't stand the thought of going back to work...........just retire!

              Do I ever know what you mean about not wanting to go back to work, just spent a couple of days in the Rocky Mountain National Park with my nephews, I thought about calling work and telling them I ain't ever coming back.

                According to my mother in law, winter is is the price we pay for living in Paradise. I bet that place is just as nice with snow, a fire in the fireplace, and no mosquitoes.

                  That pretty much looks like the lots that all of us MNers have our houses built on. It's a tough life for the 3000 or so folks in the state that don't live on a lake. Ha! I wish, I'd love to move to a lake house when I retire.

                  The shore looks pretty rocky there so I'm guessing this lake doesn't have much marsh/swamp around the edges which probably helps with the skeeters. In the Twin Cities the fine folks with the mosquito control district do a fine job of keeping the pests down, but if you go up in the boggy parts of northen Minnesota they really can carry you away. Of course it's easier since they drained all the water weight from your blood 1cc at a time first.
