FARM ISLAND LAKE

VIEW OF FARM ISLAND LAKE FROM THE CABIN LAKE SHORE

We have been back in Maple Plain for about one month (enough time to get a new roof on the house and go for my first physical at the Mayo Clinic).  It is finally getting warm and sunny.  Last night my sister-n-law Rozanne invited me to ride up to the cabin with her and it sounded like a good idea.

It turned out to be a beautiful day "up north" (that's what they call it in Minnesota).  The trillions were blooming and the leaves were starting to come out and  the ice was off the lake.

GOOD CROP YEAR

This was not just any trip up to a cabin because it is a cabin that has been in the family for over 70 years and of course that means trillions of memories.  My parents bought the cabin in the early 40's for $2000.  I always loved to go to the cabin and spent almost every summer weekend at the lake while I was growing up.  The cabin is still in the family - owned and lovingly cared for by Rozanne.
