Nooks and crannies

Last Sunday night we invited the YSA's over to learn how to make applesauce. We also took turns guessing where Chris would go on his mission.  So far he hasn't received his call, so we don't know who is right.  We asked if he had a place he really wanted to go and he said, somewhere without  winter!

This is Vermillion Lake. Someone told me that it is the prettiest of the 1,000 lakes in Northern Minnesota.  It is sure pretty!
We explored the area around this lake after we visited a seminary class in Virginia, a town north of Duluth.  We hadn't been up that way and we saw the area of the boundary waters and Ely where many of the canoe outfitters are based.


 This is  a seminary class held in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada in the teacher's dining room.  Yes, this ward is in our stake, 3 1/2 hours north of Duluth.  What a great class!  I love visiting the seminary classes and seeing that the gospel is being taught in all the nooks and crannies of the Church.
That evening we went to the campus of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and attended an Institute class.  See what I mean about the nooks and crannies?






We stopped at a quilt store on the way home and Ron took a photo of the "husband's waiting bench."









 And then he found an interesting rock shop.

Sister Ballif does the dishes after the missionary breakfast at our house.  She does them every Saturday.
We can't stop her.
