MN teddybear's blog post - Random memories..........................................

Been thinking a lot lately of things I miss. Been thinking about the past.

My grandparents had this beautifull house in NW Minnesota on a lake. This was the center of my hunting and fishing carreer while I was growing up. We use to drive the 3 1/2 hours when I was a kid almost every weekend. I would spend at least a week every summer there too. It was so fun as a kid we had the lake and the forests to roam. there was even a hauted cabin the stories we would tell. I remember we had to mowe the lawn for grandpa and it would take 2 hours on the lawn tractor but we could drive it and it was fun. They had a garden as big as a football field and we had to work in it. I loved picking but planting and weeding not so much.

Grandpa's passions were fishing, Hunting, building bird houses, and his steam engines. he built them and ran them all the time. Here is where the football field garden came in. Half of it was Navey Beans which he would run through his home made thatcher. God we ait a lot of Bean soup. The Steam engine was cool thoe he would fire it up and as kids we rode it all over the yard with him. It now is sitting in a museum.

The best part of this place was the fishing. And the old pontoon we would catch some of the biggest sunfish and crappies. After Grandma died they sold the house and it forever changed. The new owners add new rooms and buildings. I have only been by the house once in the last 10 years I want to keep the memories.

Enough of my boring you of my remembering the past. Hugs all.
