Hello Everyone!  I made it here safe and sound.  It was a very long day yesterday. Up at 4 AM to work out and at work by 7:30.  I left the city after work and got here in 5 hours…  I was on a mission.  You get up here and immediately feel all the stress slip away.  I can think of 3 people in particular that should get out of the city and get back to what is important in life.  Why is it in today’s society that people keep doing the same stupid things and expecting different results.  That truly is the definition of insanity.  I chose to wake up everyday and have a happy disposition and attitude.  Attitude is one of the few things in life we can control. 

So what is on the NorthernGirl calendar for the weekend??? I am frying thick sliced Nueske’s bacon and then I am going to take a nice walk.  I am staying with Gary and LeeAnn at Gary’s gorgeous log home in the woods.  Carver Bob Johnson is picking me up this afternoon to go walleye fishing.  Sturgeon season opens tomorrow and I get to fish with Bob and Gary. If only I can get a bigger one that Joe Fulton!!!  That’s my goal.  Haha.

As I sit here looking out over Gary’s minnow ponds I keep thinking how awesome it would be to have this serenity everyday.  I will let you know later how I did fishing and I will post photos next week.  I am heading back to the stinky city on the 4th. 

So here is your assignment.  Tell me what you did this weekend and send me your biggest fish pictures on Tuesday.  And tell your fish story if its unbelievable…  I love those.

But most of all embrace life, love your family and each other.  Live Life Love Life!
