Awww Bevis... I bet you do dream about your old cabin often and really miss it. Sorry :(
Are you dreaming about your new cabin too? The one you're going to build soon? You better be making all your plans and getting excited cause it's going to be awesome!!!! And someday snow will be falling on the roof of your new cabin and you are going to be sittin inside and relaxing and watching the snow come down :) and you'll be so happy to be there-trust me.

HA!
Having lived in the NE USA all my life I had grown to hate winter and snow. Ever since acquiring my woodsy getaway my whole attitude is changing.

No chance for snow in Seattle this Christmas. In fact, it is not even raining. I think that we are having about the coldest and dryest December on record.

Either Hattie found a way to send us a bit of snow or our weather man is on crack!!!
In any case my 8 year old is happy...just this morning she proclaimed "I never knew we could have a Christmas without snow."

No snow for us in Wisconsin,what we got the other day melted away. But I just came in from outside and it is the most gorgeous night. Warm but yet a crispness in the air and soooooo many stars in the sky. If we did have snow I would totally go tobogganing right now!!! Wish I were at the cabin!

I bet he will go...promise him lots of memorable times. I don't "get" people who don't want to "get out of town" once in a while. I mean I do get cost, time off, babysitters blah,blah...but it does your spirit such good to have a change sometimes! How long have you kayaked for?

I discovered kayaking.only five years ago... Loved it... Kayaked all the lakes near home, including lake erie and huron... Then I had the heart attack and open headt surgery.. Took.a year off and now I'm back... But with copd and heart damage a a result.. I'm enjoying calmer waters alot more. Nothing like trailing your fingertips thru the water as you float along ...... Very peaceful . I thought the apostles looked perfect.

Yep... And nearly tipped over leaning.over.to photograph lilly pads or some other interesting kritter down there..... You can sneak up on nature and snap great photos of deer...turtles. Beavers... Last summer a snake.cruised right over and showed me how beautiful he was.
Nothing like taking a road trip and finding a little lake hidden somewhere......

Ahh, I love road trips! I don't care where I'm going, I love a road trip! When our cabin is done there are so many places I can't wait to explore. The whole north shore of Minnesota overlooking Lake Superior is beautiful. And Wisconsin has many gorgeous places too. I would love to see a moose while out on a dirt road secluded adventure...I'm sure I will need a newer vehicle before we adventure too far off the beaten path...it's kinda on it's last leg I think!

Naturelover,
Have you been up in the UP? I think it is so cool up there. Snowmobiling was so much fun but since we bought our land we haven't been back. So many secluded places. We looked at land there but decided it would be way easier to be closer to home. I love how they call a narrow dirt road a county highway!!!

We were in mostly the western portions of the U.P. Where is Newberry in relation?
The Dells are fun for sure, but very commercialized.

Yellowstone and all those western states are beautiful. My daughter went out to Seattle this summer for her honeymoon and then drove back here through all those states and took the most amazing pictures! Living here is nice but the beauty out there is really something! When I was a kid we traveled a lot and that was one of my favorite places! Mr. Troll doesn't like to drive either but so much is missed flying, and so expensive too. We haven't had a "travel vacation" for quite some time now. I miss it. Renting a cabin is a fun thing to do-much better than a hotel!

Lol...I can pack in record time too! Flying has it's benefits, depending on where you are going but driving-is there anything else like it??? I would love to go across the country taking only smaller highways and no interstates. That would be awesome! Then I would say that we could not eat at any chain restaurants either(with the exception of Cracker Barrel!). Only small town cafes. I keep telling Mr. Troll I want to do this in my '66 MGB, just him and I. Sounds amazing...roof down, rolling along and along...
