Sunday - Earth Day!!!

Hi, what a beautiful day by the bay - crisp air, sparkling blue water and bright sunshine!  Lately Jamey  & I have been working on our floors - finally finished last Thursday - woo hoo! 

On Friday Jamey had the opportunity to take one of our local teenagers out fishing after school.  He caught 3 large steel head trout - awesome, eh? (Both "boys" had a great time!)   Here is a picture of them:

We had some lovely guests last night and someone else is here until Wednesday for a sabbatical from his normal busy life.  This is a great place to be to relax, unwind, and refresh.  For breakfast today we served creamy scrambled eggs, fresh baked wheat bread with butter and Michigan jam, cubed potatoes with parsley and seasonings, thick-sliced bacon, juicy sliced oranges and banana walnut bread - no one left the table hungry!  Of course we had plenty of steaming coffee and hot tea! 

Jamey and I had a very relaxing afternoon and we took our dogs to Agate Beach to see the sunset after dinner.  Here are some pictures:

Beautiful Grand Marais Sunset!!!

Here's Domino - he's almost 17 years old - he seemed to be enjoying himself walking along the beach - he's been a great dog!

Bear did some swimming and then he had to "clean off" in the sand!  

Fishing!!!

Happy Friday the 13th!  Yesterday Jamey & I went fishing in the morning.  Cold but very nice out!  We caught 7 whitefish, 1 coho salmon and 1 rainbow trout!  This was my first time fishing out here and it was really fun!  Here are some pictures of the sunrise from yesterday.

This is a picture of the lighthouse and the moon.

Today Jamey went fishing and caught 11 whitefish!  He is having lots of fun!  Tonight there is a school carnival from 5-8pm and we plan to attend that.  It's always nice to go to the school and see all the kids and families - it's a great time to be part of the community.  Grand Marais is a great community to be a part of!  Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!  If you like to fish - come UP and catch some and come back here to relax and unwind from a great day of fishing!

Easter Monday!

Hi, everyone - sorry I haven't posted in a while.  Jamey & I have been very busy refinishing our floors and spring cleaning.  We hope everyone had a very Happy Easter with family and friends.  Here are some pictures taken in the last few days.

This is the sunrise from last Friday - beautiful, eh?

I took this picture today - the cloud cover made a perfect line with Lake Superior and the sky.

Here's another one from our house of the cloud cover.

Here is a freighter traveling West.  We see many freighters from our house - all times of the day!

Tomorrow Jamey & I are going fishing in the morning - hopefully we'll catch some good fish!  Last weekend Jamey's parents came up for the holiday weekend and Jamey & his father had a blast fishing from the pier every day.  They caught coho salmon, whitefish and rainbow trout.  Delicious!!!
