Hello, again! We had a very nice fall and the weather is getting colder. We are hoping for lots of snow this year! A couple of weeks ago we "adopted" a new dog. Her name is Nora and she is 5 years old. She and Bear are getting along very well! He is finally getting more exercise. Nora has lots of energy. About a week after we got her, we took her (and Bear, of course) out to the beach at the school forest. Well, she took off down the beach and we lost sight of her! We really weren't sure what to do. Jamey went one way and I went the other. We just started walking East and eventually (after about 15 minutes) we caught sight of her. She loves to run, but always comes back. She is still learning what we expect of her during breakfast. She knows that she's supposed to stay out of the dining room - but, she is still trying to sneak in! Nora is a positive addition to our family. Here is a picture of her and Bear on the beach.
It's really fun watching Nora run - she's so fast! We gave her a middle name: "Lightning".
Here's a picture of Nora.
Last weekend Jamey's son Ryan came UP as well as his parents. Jamey, Ryan and Bob (Jamey's dad) did some fishing and caught some steel head. Here are some pictures of the three of them with their catch!
The guys had lots of fun! We can't wait to eat the catch! Jamey & Ryan went fishing before Bob arrived and Ryan caught a humongous fish!
Isn't that a great father and son photo? It was really nice to have Ryan here as well as Bob and Ruth, Jamey's parents. They will be celebrating their 35th Wedding Anniversary on November 10th - that's awesome, eh?
Jamey took some pictures of our houseplants today. Our "Christmas" cactus is really blooming - maybe it's a "Thanksgiving" cactus. Anyway, it is from a clipping of my late Aunt Esther's plant. It's very special to me and I think of her every time I look at it!
Here's another picture of our plants. Jamey has a green thumb and really loves to take care of our plants.

The break wall is almost complete. The rocks are connected and the anchor rocks are being placed to fill the gap. Here are a couple of pictures that Jamey took of the tug boat and there is a freighter in the background.
Thanks for checking us out! We hope you have a wonderful November and come UP and stay with us to experience Grand Marais!
