Loons really do have red eyes!

 Rick and I went out in the boat today and this guy was good enough to 

hang out so I could photograph him.

Strutting his stuff

 I took the wheel for awhile so the Mr. could nap on the boat

 Last evening we were sitting on our dock and along came a neighbor on their pontoon...

They pulled up and tied onto our dock and we talked for about an hour.

 This is such a fun way to meet the neighbors on the lake!

Rick has so much in common with many of the neighbors,

 a lot of them, like Rick came to this very lake as kids 

and they have family cabins that go way back.

It's fun to here Rick chat with them, they know many of the same people and  

a lot about the resort (Hawkeye Haven) that we now call home... our upnorth home.

 We went into town this morning, to pick up a few things,
browse the shops and visit the candy store.

Then we had lunch at one of our favorites, "Minnesoda fountain" 

that's not a mistake, it really is soda, not sota.

We are loving our short weekend at the cabin, and it's always worth it. 

We will head home tomorrow, stopping by to see the twin cities grand babies.... cant wait!
