Bemidji

Hello there! Starting right now, I'm on spring break. I am questioning coming to Bemidji next weekend. I was just wondering if people are going to be around at all or if there's anything exciting going on up there. I have off from work Thurs-Sun and I was thinking about going to Duluth for a day or 2 and then continuing up to Bemidji. So if there's anything exciting going on, let me know please :)

"The Big Mountain"

We have fallen in love with cross country skiing, the quiet, serene, winter wonderland is so beautiful & peaceful, too. We are going to put our sport to the test by skiing in Whitefish, Montana, beginning Saturday morning at 5 AM, when we board the Empire Builder to begin our journey westward.

We are going with Steve & Margie...so, there won't be a dull moment all week!! Dale & I are excited...it should be a great, relaxing time.

We will be taking some pics & I will work on putting one or two on the blog when we get back.

Lion/Lamb

Well, I now know that March is here...wow!
Yesterday I left work around 4:00 pm to a light, cool rain. By the time I got to Paul & Babe, it was pouring... I continued driving along Paul Bunyan Drive...& within a matter of minutes, it was not only raining, but large, wet snowflakes were being splatted onto the windshield. This continued until around 5:30 when I noticed that we were in the midst of a blizzard! The wind was blowing & the snow was flying & I couldn't see the houses across the street from us! It snowed for a while, & then quit abruptly! Such is March!
