Well I'm back. Snow on the ground and reflecting on Summer. Summer starts on Memorial Day for me, and it came early on May 24th. Gonna do mostly photos 'cause a picture's worth a thousand words right? And gonna do a lot of posts over the next bit of time, pretty much by date or event. Stay tuned, there's water, and campfires, and sports, and swimming and boating, and even fireworks with relatives and good friends. Here goes....

Here be me cutting a piece of cedar paneling for the sauna. Memorial Day means Brother John decides to continue our decade work of refurbishing the sauna. Seeing as how that's the only time we do it, should be done by 2012.
Brother Gregory moved to Bemidji last October, so he be helping now with Brother John and I. Doesn't the sauna look warm, wait til we heat it. Oh my. Sweating. Oh yeah.
Time for a boat ride on Memorial Day, here Cindy must be bored with conversation with John and talking with their granddaughter
Barbara Ann against a clear blue on Lake Bemidji, the first of many trips the summer of '09. More coming...we'll get through the summer sometime in the next week or so.
