When people ask "Hey Skye, what is it you do up there in Minnesota?" I am often at a loss of what to say; for how many different ways can you say "Whelp, we hang out down by the lake, talk to the relatives, drink tea, and read a ton" and still make it sound exciting? After the 20 years (well, 21 counting inside the womb) of annual pilgrimage do this delightful vacation spot, I have yet to master the inevitable response. So I figure, this picture pretty much sums up my Minnesota vacation in a nutshell (imagine many a white-hair clad grandmother or great-uncle sitting 5 feet from me). Because I am here for a few more days yet, I need to disperse my "gratefulness" into specific topics (cause you can't just collectively say "I'm grateful for Minnesota" - there's too many wonderful things included in such a vague statement!). So....for day 12 of this project (and day 5 of my being in this delightful state) I am grateful for reading down at the beach (David Sedaris'
When You Are Engulfed in Flames----hilarious, must read!) with my hot drink of choice, cocoa (in the ever so appropriate blue speckled tin camping mug). Hey thanks, white lawn chair, Swiss Cocoa powder (marshmallows included), blue speckled tin mug, tree log coffee table (leftover from last night's campfire), David Sedaris (you've literally caused me to lose sphincter function), The North Face (for keeping me cozy), 5th grade moccasin slippers, Bemidji Woolen Mills Scarf.....am I missing anyone else??? And the Oscar goes to......
