The newest addition to our extensive first aid collection this season is a Philips Heartstart AED (automated external defibrillator). Carrie and I both renewed our CPR training this spring and practiced operating an AED. Carrie has been affectionately calling him Phil. An AED is a portable electronic device that is capable of diagnosing a heart …
I hope everyone is having a lovely Easter weekend. The weather continues to be ridiculously beautiful here in Central Illinois. I wanted to share some of the art that we have received since taking over the camp in 2009, all gifts from our beloved guests! I’d like to think that I am someone who appreciates …
While Carrie and I were in Milwaukee for the sports show in March we had the pleasure of visiting with Walt and Millie Rundle, the founders of Eagle Falls Lodge. They had the foresight to build the lodge on the unique piece of property between Parker Lake and Red Lake. The first group was hosted …

Carrie put her culinary skills to the test this past weekend and ended up winning the Bloomington Chocolate Challenge. She was awarded 1st place in the amateur division for her dish – Pistachio Chocolate Baklava. I can attest it does, in fact, taste as good as it looks. I cannot say whether or not this …
