Brothers!

The best thing about having a resort is seeing your family and friends. My two brothers came up this spring to spend a week with us and we had a great time together.  Here are Dean and Dale with Dick at Musky Shores enjoying some time together.  Thanks guys for a great time together!

Bad Bones BBQ

We have a new business in town called BAD BONES BBQ!  They cook outside in a wood cooker and serve pulled pork sandwiches either inside or outside on picnic tables.  We tried it for the first time after one of our customers raved about it.  They were right it is delicious! It is down town Minocqua, one block west of Pole Cat & Lace.  The smells outside make you want to stop and it is worth it!

Northwoods Wildlife Center

One of the families staying here at the resort visited The Northwoods Wildlife Center last week.  They were told that they had 5 small bears and they were running out of food for them.  So when they came back their daughter Kyrea  asked me if she could catch some small fish and take into the Wildlife center for the bears. So the next day all the kids were busy catching fish until they almost filled a bucket and took them in.  Here is a picture of the kids, Sierra, Teagan, Dad Brad, Kyrea and Mazzie at the Wildlife Center with 150 fish, Kyrea and a volunteer at the Center and one of the bears swimming.  The bears are in a back area and you can only see them by camera in the Center. Great job Kids!!!!!

Scrapbooking fun!

What do you do on a hot hot day? Play on the lake or go cardmaking! That is what our good customer and friend Cathy and I did today. We took a 12 card class at The Paper Studio, stayed cool, had lots of fun and ended up with 12 cards!!! And then we had lunch at a favorite spot Polecat and Lace. My favorite way to spend a hot day!!!!

A Great Salad Luncheon!

A couple of our customers, a couple of my neighbors and I enjoyed our neighborhood churches’ Salad Luncheon this past week.  There were so many good salads and desserts that we could have filled a plate twice.  It is always a delicious time!

A Fantastic Birthday Dinner!

We have some dear friends who try and celebrate my Birthday with us every year who came over today and we all went to a favorite special place – The White Stag. Their specialty is smoked pork chops with a seasoned cherry sauce, soooo good. Everyone else had steak which is all cooked on an open fire pit. It was a fantastic dinner with great friends!

A Great Flea Market

A great Monday tradition in the summer is the St. Germain Flea Market.  There is something for everyone there, antiques, crafts, food and even the sock lady! Everyone in the resort was there last Monday and came home with many treasures.
