At the cabin this year

 Summer 2023 we traveled to Gordan Wisconsin and stayed at a cabin on Leader Lake.

 Adrienne, Lily, Ruby, Maddie, Joe and Lou and Georgie all joined us.

The trip will be remembered for the excessive amount of daddy long leg spiders.

The weather was fair with a few showers through out the week.

Georgie and Lou catch a frog!

Maddie is trying to convince Ruby to do Improv classes with her in the Fall

Fireworks sent Millie and Georgie indoors in the arms of dad.

these two now worm their own hooks!

Happy 63rd birthday to this wonderful man!

Tim caught a northern and Adrienne landed it.  Ruby shows the size.

A random couch in the woods on the land that the cabin stood.  Pretty gross.

Auntie Adrienne makes everything more fun with this floating raft.

2023

 I'm looking forward to 2023 after-all I have a new Grandbaby arriving  late April.  This is Grandbaby 5.

He is VERY special because he will carry the Baird surname.  He will be very loved by his Gramsie as she will do her best to locate him to Minnesota, where he belongs.  I know it's not ideal but we have lakes. Hey little one,  I have lived elsewhere and I do know now... this is where I belong.  I hope baby 2023 gets to know the fine art of loving Minnesota.  Travel often.  

Snowed In Mn.

From what I can see, the whole state of Minnesota looks like winter wonderland!

Myrtle

 My fancy Juki is showing some sign of wear.  I decided to bring it in for a tune up.  In the meantime I fell down the rabbit hole of vintage sewing machine.  Yunno all metal parts and super reliable straight + zigzag stitch.  Seems the Singer Rocketeer 500A is a solid bet. Bam!  Welcome Myrtle - I love you already!
