1. Last weekend I took my friend to Onamia for his grandson's confirmation. On the way home we stopped in Spicer, MN to see the Olde Mill that I had heard about. It was getting quite dark so I had to lighten these photos in PicMonkey. The mill was built in 1862 on Green Lake. In 1914 it was turned into an inn to accommodate tourists. You can read more about the mill here.
2. On Tuesday I had a big old molar pulled. It was beyond saving. I spent most of the day resting.
3. If you live in this area there is a lot of eating going on. Wed night the youth at my church put on a spaghetti supper to raise money for a mission trip. Last night there was an education banquette to honor students, teachers, and other school personnel. They also honor citizens of the community that have been influential in the school and the community over the years. The father of one of my classmates was one of the honorees.
4. The weather has been on a roller coaster. The first snow has melted and then it snowed a little again Sunday night. Yesterday the temps were in the 50's so I did a little garden cleanup. The grass is still green.
5. Tomorrow I am taking an all day watercolor painting class. It is with the same teacher I took the class with at Senior Collage.
Well that's a wrap!
Thanks for stopping! Have a great weekend!
See you next time

That's an excellent waterfall photo, and I could sit on that bench at the point for hours!
Wow...you are one busy lady and taking a watercolor class sounds wonderful...hmmm...I've been thinking about doing the same. I agree..going to the dentist is the pits and I'm headed there Monday to have two fillings replaced and praying for the best that they don't just fall apart in the process. As always I love your beautiful photos and thanks for all of your kind comments...have a great weekend Barb...Hugs
I would love to see that old mill...love places like that. I hope you show us what you do in your watercolor class!
Enjoyed your pictures! The painting class sounds fun. I would love to try my hand at oil painting when I ever find time. Sorry about the tooth, that is no fun...hope you're feeling better now. Have a nice weekend!

Oh Barb sorry about the tooth. I love the old mill pics.

Beautiful old mill and site. Love the little boat landing. I love a spaghetti feed and when it's for a good cause, all the better. You reminded me I need to make a dental appt. Hope you are feeling better - there's food to be eaten!! Have fun at your class and don't forget to share <3 xo Karen
What a beautiful place. The temps are up and down here, too. Snow earlier in the week and Sunday it is supposed to be 70. Crazy November weather. Hate having teeth pulled. Hope you feel better. xo Laura
Keeping busy I see! Hope that you are healing well after the tooth extraction. Never fun! But taking an art class sounds like a lot if pleasure.
Neat photos of the mill. It looks really pretty. Hope you are feeling better after the molar coming out. Bet that was painful!
a beautiful setting for the old mill Barb'; your winter rolling in; enjoy your watercolour class and have a nice relaxing weekend
Ouch! I have never had a tooth pulled and instead suffer through root canals and crown work, which is almost as painful. I hope it heals well. It sounds like you had a busy week Barb. I like the photos of the old mill. Enjoy your painting class.
I do like that mill. The type of place I love to visit.
So sorry about your tooth. I have to get a wisdom tooth out soon..holding off as long as I can. Lovely pics as always. Janice
Love that jetty out in the water.
Your weather sounds like ours - up and down. A couple more things to get done outside and I' m ready to move on with winter.
Hope your mouth heals quickly.
Have a great weekend Barb!
The photos are great - and the story about the mill is very interesting. I'm glad your tooth is out of the way before the holidays.
Oh oww! I hope your mouth is not too sore from that. Beautiful shots today- have a great rest of the weekend!
Seems all of my blog friends are having dental work done -- I go this coming Monday to start the crowning process. Wish it was over!
Hope to see some paintings in the near future. :)
Hello Barb, I hope your mouth has recovered by now. The photos of the mill are neat and I love the scene in the last shot. Enjoy your painting classes. Have a happy week!
I'm sorry to hear about the tooth. What a shame.
How did the watercolour class go yesterday?
-Karen
EW! Sorry you had to have the tooth pulled but I'm sure it's for the best. I'm glad you're enjoying your watercolor classes.
