Leaves at Loon Lodge

You can't come up north from Florida in October and not go see the leaves.

Here's the Kannas cabin, Loon Lodge, in northern Minnesota.


Chrissy and her husband Randy...


and his parents Ron and Robyn were great hosts.


It was cold and rainy, just perfect weather for a fishing tournament.


Of course, Mr. Competition, Randy caught the first fish...


but I think it takes special talent to catch the smallest one.


Once Mom caught on, she kept pulling them in and caught more than anyone--eight, I think. We couldn't get her to put the pole down.


The Kannas's are of good Finnish stock so they had a sauna for us to warm ourselves and clean up afterwards.


Here's a G-rated version of us sweating away!
