Happy Saturday!

It's Saturday morning and it's a cool rainy day here in beautiful Elk River! Debbie left this morning with a group of ladies from Northwood Church, going to a Ladies Retreat in an area near Duluth MN up on the north shore of Lake Superior. We're planning a weekend trip to that area sometime later in the spring. It's such a beautiful place. Lake Superior is a fresh water lake. The water is some of the coldest you will experience that is still in liquid form, even on the warmest day of the summer.

Note that I said "warmest" and not "hottest". It doesn't get hot in Duluth. A few years ago we went to Duluth on the 4th of July weekend and it was COLD! I met one man who said there were many years in which they watch the 4th of July fireworks in their parkas. I think I'll stay home on those days. But the rest of the time it is really a beautiful area. If you ever come to see us before we leave the area we'll be sure to take you up there. It's about 3 hours drive north of the Twin Cities.

Gabriel and I are having a "boys day at the house". When the rain lets up we'll go out and work in the yard. Until then I'm getting some good cleaning work done, both for the joy of enjoying our home and for preparation for the day when it is time to head south.

Have a blessed weekend!
