QUIPS & QUOTES
What are you going to do to break loose from the birdcage? We’ve all been ‘caged’ up for the better part of the last few months. As the stay-at-home order is lifted across the state, what are you most looking forward to doing outside the house? We asked, you answered:
Top 10 Lists I created ‘top ten’ lists in a few categories (family, food, & fresh air) to make sure I don’t miss anything this summer! We want to host a family BBQ and bonfire, visit Smack Shack for their delicious Sunday brunch, and take a trip to our cabin in the Brainerd Lakes area, to name a few.
North Shore It will be different this year, but I can’t wait for the annual family trip up to the North Shore. Fishing and shopping should be possible, but we’ll have to see about camping and swimming.
