Treehuggers and waterfalls

This photo is for our ATV friends, the Dust Eaters.
We went to church last Sunday in Ashland WI where there are miles and miles of ATV trails; but our ATV is in McCall, ID. Probably a good thing.

 Gooseberry Falls State Park. This park is not far from Duluth along the North Shore of Lake
Superior.  (Just past the candy store.)

                               

 This is the Split Rock lighthouse on the North Shore, about an hour north of Duluth.   One of the most beautiful lighthouses on Lake Superior.  And there are a lot of lighthouses on Lake Superior.  Terrible storms and lots of shipping so they need lots of lighthouses.  So far we have visited two.

And here is where we study every morning.  We get dressed in our missionary clothes and I sit on one couch and Ron sits on the other.  We used to study at the desk but the couches are more comfortable.  

So we don't go sightseeing ALL the time.  This week we went to help at the Food bank on two afternoons. And held our stake's first seminary and institute in-service meeting.

 On Friday we went to St Paul to the temple.  Then Saturday we went to seminary/institute training and then Ron went back to the temple to help with the Carlton Branch baptismal session.  I brought some names for sealings for some of my ancestors. 

I have a friend (yes, I do have a friend besides Ron) and she lives in an old established part of town and the city has decided to cut down the big trees that shade the houses so nicely.  She and some of her neighbors have put clothing on the trees, as if a person was tree hugging and pleading with the city to keep the trees.  It is pretty cute.
