"Bomber" Takes people out for ice fishing

Hello from Minnesota! We are settled in now for the most part. Rick is hard at work each day and I am hard at work maintaining my sanity and a clean house with a 2 year-old on the loose. This journey we've started has brought new experiences and people to my life. I am still in adamant protest of the Facebook and all that. But a blog? This I can do. It will keep you all in the know and give you a glimpse of what goes on around here. To say it is a change from home is the understatement of a lifetime. But it has been a good change and one that I know is the chosen path for us. While I miss my home in way I can't explain, my heart is full with the people that surround me and the beautiful views I see.

This blog will be the tour of Young's Bay Resort from my perpective. I'm the new girl here and about as clueless as it gets. Everyday I ask Rick what and why. You have to drive on a gravel road through Canada to get here. The lake is frozen over with 12 inches of ice and it is only the beginning they tell me. Cars and trucks are driving across it already. You can see bald eagles and deer on a daily basis.....well unless you are my husband during hunting season. 9 degrees below zero is the worst I've seen, but I hear tales about 55 below. They say this is a mild winter so far for this area. I think that is God's way of easing me in.

I miss you all and think about home everyday. I miss lattes and watching the news. (We're debating over getting TV hooked up.) I miss my house and my momma. But I don't miss the rat race or traffic or dropping my boy off at daycare to spend the day away from him. I don't miss saying goodbye to Rick on Sunday night while he worked out of town all week. I am blessed and glad to share this adventure with you all.
