It’s an old school (founded in 1897), rustic place, and I just love it. They are having an Earth Day essay contest to win … Continue reading Rockywold-Deephaven contest: Please vote for me!

Greta and I spent some time before the trip working on a google doc (brilliant) spreadsheet to plan the meals we’d each cook and what groceries we were each bringing.

There was kayaking and a bit of walking around, and a couple plunges in the not-as-icy-as-expected lake, but for the most part we drank wine, sat on the … Continue reading Mini-break
