The picture doesn't do the phenomenon justice.  As we were driving southbound on I-35 to the Carlton VFW to volunteer at the monthly steak fry Saturday afternoon I saw this small rainbow-like light in the sky.  I said it was a sundog and my husband, Homie questioned me on what a sundog is.

I can't believe I actually look forward to Harold's Wild Game Feed at the Carlton VFW now!  The first time I was invited I had SUCH apprehension.  I don't usually stray very far from the norm and Harold informed me that I was eating yak liver!  But, this year I brought something to share and tasted almost everything offered, except the turtle.

Did you get to see the ice caves last year?  I  regret I couldn't find the time to travel to Bayfield and see the amazing Wisconsin Ice Caves.  They had said that predictions looked good that we may get the chance to visit them again this year, but recent reports are saying that's not the case, yet.

We know that living in the Northland is great because it's a fun melting pot of communities covering two states.  Now, Minnesota and Wisconsin are working together in a cool way for a habitat restoration project.

Did you get a chance to check out the Ice Castle at the Mall of America last year? If your planning on going back this year, take note: it will be in a new location. If you didn't go you might want to consider it, especially if you went to Lake Superior's Ice Caves and enjoyed that.

Looking for that last minute gift?  No worries, the Lake Superior Zoo has the gift of membership that the receiver can enjoy multiple times all year long!  You won't have to use gas, you won't have to take the time to go pick it up, you can shop in your jammies at home online.  How easy is that?

I use to be so scared of our snowmobile.  I would play in the snow at age 4 while my dad and sister would ride the Scorpion around the yard, running up on the porch shaking my head NO when they would stop and ask me if I wanted to ride.  Then, I got the guts to sit on it one day and dad took off.  My first ride on a snowmobile was a surprise, but honestly, you couldn't get me off the dang thing af

Did you get to see the ice caves last year?  I  regret I couldn't find the time to travel to Bayfield and see the amazing Wisconsin Ice Caves.  As you can see, my daughter and her boyfriend made it and said they were breath taking.  There's a very good chance the ice caves will happen again this year and this time the public will be charged a small fee.

When Extreme Home Makeover was building a house in Superior and Ken and I were broadcasting our show from there, I watched Glen a photojournalist from WDIO do a time lapse of the build.  It was amazing to watch.  So, when they told me to use the Go-Pro camera with a creative idea, I knew instantly I wanted to do a time lapse and I wanted to share something that I see on a regular basis that you mi

To be able to say our Nation's Christmas tree proudly standing on the Capitol lawn during the holidays came from your home state is a big deal and if you live in Minnesota you have bragging rights for 2014!  Today, Wednesday, November 5 the historic 88 foot white spruce will make a stop at Bayfront Festival Park.
