Thanksgiving dinner at Mark and Robyn's cabin

Randy had Thanksgiving at the cabin before he came back to Belgium. I guess there was a pretty good snowstorm on his drive back to the Twin Cities that made it hard to drive

What beautiful children!!

We bought a lake cabin this summer!!!

We bought a lake cabin this summer to more enjoy my time when I'm in the States, but mainly to be near the children and family. Robyn and Mark have a cabin about 15 minutes away and Tracy is about 30 minutes away. Can't wait to get there next summer after Randy puts the pool in.

Dunvilla Vineyards

 Mark and Robyn's Dunvilla Vineyards is really coming along. Can't wait to taste some wine! Another year or two I guess.

July 3rd at the cabin

We spent the 3rd of July at Mark and Robyn's cabin with the all the family's. Was a perfect day at the lake.



Twins game against the Dodgers

Me and TC Bear!

We went to the Twins game with Mark and Robyn. Randy's friend Cal provided us with tickets from his bank that were very close to the field, about 20 rows behind the catcher. Thank you Cal! I could take some good pictures of my friend Joe Mauer. The Twins lost 15-0, so there was not very much to cheer about.

Randy calls them stadium steaks

Up to the cabin

Went to Robin's cabin to leave Randy work for a couple days and discovered a new friend. It's called Summer Shandy!

Dunvilla Vineyards

Mark and Robyn started a vineyard this year on Mark's grandpa's old farm near their cabin. It's in a little village called Dunvilla, so it's called Dunvilla Vineyards or Winery, not sure on that one. They think it will take about three years to get the first wine.

This was on the motorway leading to the vineyard so of course Randy made me get out and take a picture while cars were honking as they passed.
