Kathy Erkkila Ptaszek was given quite the unique, early birthday gift a few weeks ago, by her friend: A room for the night at the historic Lake Breeze Resort in Eagle Harbor. Kathy remarked on there being so much history there and told me that the resort is only open to rentals a few weeks in August and she doesn’t think they do any advertising. What a lovely gift to be given a stay there, as I would guess it might be hard to get a reservation with limited times for rentals. Kathy enjoyed it thoroughly, including a dip in the lake, too! Then in the morning she was up bright and early to watch the sunrise and capture the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse with the morning sky surrounding it, along with a great sunrise freighter sailing by. She was singing, “Here comes the Sun... doo, doo, doo, doo… I bet you’re singing it now, too.
Next we join Kristin Ojaniemi for episode 196 of Discovering – Escanaba River in Da Moonlight, on a girl’s weekend rafting and fishing down the Escanaba River. You’ll get some fly casting tips and get to see the camaraderie of the girls on their journey through the wilderness.

I'm SO jealous.
Great colors in the Freighter at sunrise.

Hi Either the reading room or the porch look like great spots to hang out and relax.
I'm afraid a more pessimistic song was on my mind last week, at my cabin: "Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach A feeling in the air Summer's out of reach..."

Kathryn, sometimes pessimism is true.

That is glorious....
Is Pasty going away, or?? It seems to be later and later it gets updated?? Or is it just me?
By Kathyrn Laughlin (Kathyl) on Friday, September 11, 2026 - 07:13 pm:
Hi Donna, I've noticed it too.
By Donna (Donna) on Friday, September 11, 2026 - 07:57 pm:
Donna and Kathryn, I've noticed it too and have been wondering.

Unless something has changed, Mary is not the one responsible for making the actual posting. She gets everything lined up for each week but does not do the postings.
