These pics were requested by mom (Bonnie). We've been so excited about the small things in our loft (carpet and appliances) that we haven't taken any pics of the space - including the windows. So here you go! The last 2 are of our parking space - quite a big deal here in MPLS. Josh is excited because we'll have room for his next motorcycle purchase.
We had a great time grillin' & chillin' for the 4th this year!
Josh surprised me with a trip to Grand Marais last weekend (my b-day present). It was the most perfect gift! We got to relax and spent a lot of quality time together (those cats can be quite demanding). Our cabin was up on the Gunflint Trail surrounded by the boundary waters. We actually kayaked from Minnesota to Canada one day. Pretty neat.
The only thing we didn't really think about was the fact that Lake Superior is COLD. And the wind coming off the lake is COLD. It was in the 60's during the day and got down to the 40's at night! Kinda refreshing though. Next time I'm bringing a windbreaker.
The highlight was definitely riding the horses. J's horse was Sourdough (makes funny faces) and mine was Dizzy (kinda slow - needed a whack in the bum with a stick). Our trail ride included breakfast halfway through. It's kinda hard to get back on a horse with a full belly ...
Our dream is to own a couple of horses someday ... and don't try to talk us out of it! It's our dream! We know they're a lot of work! We can dream, can't we?????
Here are a few pics:
