July 2013 Team TIMBER!!

Sandy and I have taken most of June off.  We've been attending graduations, visiting with grown kids and grandkids and lots of gardening.  We rented a cabin on Sand Lake in Mooselake which was beautiful!  We enjoyed food, family, fishing and great times together.  The weather was pretty darn nice too!

The cabin itself was super cute, kind of shabby chic with an "up north" twist.  We went out on the pontoon lots because in addition to swimming and fishing off it we watched for Bald Eagles and Loons.  No our state bird is not the mosquito, it's the LOON.  We should have purchased stock in a bug repellent spray company because we used a ton of it.

                                               

TEAM ARTISTS Grace and Kira

We surprised Sandy with everyone in our group wearing a "Team Timber" T shirt and presented her with her own "Team TIMBER" T shirt.  There were 3 teams participating: Cook Shack, Pine Crescent and Indian Camp.  The designs were created and hand painted by myself, Kira (age 10) and Grace (age 20).

This was a fun project for us to do. For those of you who don't get the significance of the team names I can only recommend you read TIMBER!!!  

Because of all our gallivanting around the state my blog posts will be published out of chronological order.  Please bear with me because I've got some good stuff to share about our events and marketing/publicity efforts for TIMBER!
