I Wish You A Slice of Heaven this Summer.....Even if It is Only for a Day.

There are little slices of Heaven all over this magnificent earth. I hope this summer you take the time to enjoy one of them even if it is just for a day.

I just got back from an overnight getaway. My sister lives in Arizona and was spending this week visiting our Mom in Fargo, ND. I was going to head to Fargo too but but I came up with the idea of meeting "sort of" in-between.

It was a three hour drive for each of us and we went "UP NORTH". That is Minnesota slang for heading to the northern region of MN to some of the lake area resorts.

One of the Largest Resort Communities in MN is the Brainerd, MN area with hundreds of lakeside Resorts to choose from. There is one that I have been wanting to stay at for years and this time I did.

Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, MN.

It is in the National Registry of Historic Places with the main lodge built in 1919.

Front of Lodge

After check-in we went for a walk around the grounds. It was a little misty but it seemed to make it all the more beautiful.

Come on and take a little stroll with me...........

Grand View Beach

I hope your summer will bring you a little slice of Heaven......even if it is only for a Day.

Lovely pictures of a very nice place to stay. I hope you and your sister had a great time. Well, actually with all the ice cream and candy, I am sure you had a great time. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures.

OK, so taunt this Houstonian (100 degree days, in an 8 month drought). The only way to survive the heat down here is to remember that it could be worse - and then it does get worse <G>! I may need to keep this spot in mind for my September get-me-to-some-nice-weather vacation!

It was good Joan....could have stayed a while longer.

With ice cream and chocolate how could it be bad right Evelyn? ;)

Oh Sally....I am getting serious now about Taking It Off. I am back to where I was last Sept when we started. Put 9 of the 10 pounds back on. Sorry I tempted you.....

It is an absolutely wonderful place Tom.

I hope your slice comes this summer Roger, even if for a day.

Shar - that's as pretty as Canada, LOL Lush, peaceful, quaint . . . just what people come to see in my hometown. (yet we all yearn to get away!) But it also looks like just what the Dr ordered. Glad you were able to enjoy your fave icecream - my Mother would love that as she is a true licorice fanatic! Thanks for sharing the great photos - I liked the squirrels best.

You are welcome Roger.....I give you good advice anytime, ha.

What? You don't like my toes the best Susan? Yes, Canada and MN are very much alike, we in MN just don't have an accent. ;)

Susan, you say 'aboot' instead of 'about'. LOL

I'm sure you do Janice unless you got the proper pronunciation down here first before moving up there. Haahahahah
