Ice Caves


My friend JP and I had planned a trip to the Larson Creek Farm Bed and Breakfast and the Lake Superior Ice Caves last weekend.  After part of 35W was closed due to a fatal accident, we checked to see if we could postpone for a week.  Plus, the temperature last week was a high of zero with crazy a crazy windchill.  Since there was an opening for Saturday night, we made the trek last night for Wisconsin.  We left this morning around 7:30 loaded with chocolate chip cookies and amazing cherry torte from the wonderful folks (Woot! Woot!) and friends from the bed and breakfast.  Even though we arrived a bit before 8:00, we were about the 100th car.  It was an amazing day.  We walked and slid the three miles of ice caves.  I ended up with 179 pictures (some posted on FB).  Not only was it beautiful, but the people along the way were fun and kind.  They say the ice caves may be open for two more weeks, but there were some cracks and crackling noises.  These ice caves have not been accessible for five years.  If you get the chance, go!

BTW- I don't have school tomorrow because it's a comp day for conferences.

I give thanks...
1) fun friends (JP, MC & LH)
2) cherry torte and chocolate chip cookies
3) the wondrous beauty of nature

I'm heading over to FB to see the pix. I've been interested in these ice caves since reading about them over at MC's place.

I've discovered that I'm a big cave fan.

Enjoy the comp day, fun friend!

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
