We’re in the home stretch of summer already. I can’t tell you how many times I have made big plans in my head for all these summer things I wanted to do, assumed I had all the time in the world to do them, then to realize time has passed by quicker than I thought and it was too late. Like boat rides, swimming, going to the beach, fishing, etc. Okay, you can probably tell how much I love being around the water. But isn’t that what summer is all about? Enjoying our beautiful lakes and rivers, splashing around in a nice warm pool, LIVING IT UP, summer-style! We live in a beautiful part of the country. The unfortunate thing about living here is how short the summers are. School is just a few weeks away, too. Get out there and enjoy these final weeks of summer, before old man winter comes back! 😫

It seems the third week of January is when we tend to see some high temperatures stay subzero. Things could certainly change, but as of right now it […]

There’s a Light at the End of the Tunnel!
I mean it! There literally is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is more daylight! OK, before I get too excited, let me explain. Tomorrow is the first day of winter. And it’s also the shortest visible daylight day of the year. The days will then start getting longer. This […]
