We discovered these delectable treats as I was looking for a way to pack a dessert in to the Apostle Islands for Andrew’s birthday. Made with whole wheat flour & ground flaxseed, I can at least pretend they are more healthy than regular chocolate chip cookies, right? At least until we add the marshmallow. Whole…
We’ve recently completed a circle tour of Lake Superior, and we had a great experience. One surprise in our journey was the shipping traffic on the Great Lakes. I knew shipping on the great lakes was a thing, but I had not considered how we might learn about it or experience it during our journey. Fairly…
When we had our house in Holland, we were just close enough to the water that we’d hear the ships sounding their horns coming into drop off loads of gravel and again on the way out.
It became a game – we’d hear the horns, drop whatever we were doing, jump into the car and try to find the ship.
Ideally we’d catch them going through the channel back into the big lake – where you can stand close enough that they pretty much block the whole horizon.ReplyCancel
We just got back from visiting the Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie. Although we did not know about the phone number to call for ship schedules, nor about the Boat Nerd website, we were blessed to see a lake tanker, RCMP boat and a Soo Locks Dam Tour boat go through. Fascinating! The visitor’s center was also worth going through, especially learning about the depths of the various lakes. Lake Erie is the lake closest to us and we were surprised to learn it is the shallowest at an average depth of 62 feet. Travel is so educational! Love following your adventures!ReplyCancel
While we would have loved to received free stuff to review, we actually spent money to purchase both our Kindles and the books. However, this post does contain Amazon affiliate links which help to fund the blog in a small, small way. Thanks for helping us out! My kids are avid readers. I love this about…
Today was a new experience for us. Sam is the one that usually scouts out church for Sunday and then encourages us to get out the door on time. This has turned into his job as I’m typically still in the bathroom desperately trying to finish up my mascara after helping the kids with their…
We’ve been on a bit of a mini-vacation. Last Monday we crossed the US/Canadian Border near Pigeon River and have spent the week skirting the northern border of Lake Superior. Thanks to the awesome T-Mobile plan we are on, we’ve had cell signal, voice, text, and even data on our phones. While its been great,…
Having grown up and lived in Wi and MN I have loved reading about your discovering out favorite places. Can’t wait to get back there in our airstream. The cookie recipe looks yummy and healthy, but I didn’t t see the ground flaxseed that you mentioned in the blog???
Thanks!! We really did enjoy our time up there. And THANK YOU for catching my mistake! I added the flaxseed into the ingredients list now. 🙂
