Feasting in the Northland & Summer Staff

This is the time of the year when we really get to "pig out". Last week one of our guests from Iowa brought us some sweet corn and a neighbor returned from Alaska with some frozen Halibut for us. In another week we will have friends who will be bring homegrown tomatoes and garden fresh green peppers. Anyone who has shopped in Grand Marais knows that our produce sections often have an "end of the road" appearance. There is a local famer's market but somehow we alwways seem to be busy at the Lodge and never get away to shop for fresh produce.

We are going to Duluth tonight to pickup Rachel our a new summer staff member. Andrew has been a great help this summer but Lin and I have had to do a lot of the daily chores that are normally done by our second staff person. With Rachel around we will have more time to do the visit with our guests. It is especially nice to know that she will be here to help when Andrew leaves on Sept. 2nd.
