What a fun weekend I had with all the festivities surrounding the Governor’s Fishing Opener this past weekend! I checked out that Community Picnic in Pequot Lakes and man, was that ever a good time! I got myself some free ice cream (I can’t ever pass that up), I mingled with the locals, partook in a couple minnow races and even gave a few kiddos a ride around the park on my back…they get a real kick out of that. I also picked up a map with all the ox statue locations, modeled after yours truly, from a guy dressed up as my buddy, Paul. That gave me a good laugh! Paul would think that was funny too. I wonder if he got up there to see ‘im?

Now I gotta start thinkin’ about what I’m going to do this next weekend… I did just check out the Brainerd Lakes Chamber website for some ideas and I came up with a few options…

I may hoof my way around Brainerd for the Brainerd Historical Walking Tour. I thought that might be kind of neat considering I live here and don’t know too much about the history of the town.

Then I hear that The Johnny Holms Band (yet another one of my favorite bands) is going to be performing at the YMCA Charity Ball. I may just have to put on my Sunday-best and head tot hat Saturday night.

Who knows what the weekend will bring…but one things for sure, I’m gonna have myself a good time in the Brainerd Lakes Area like I always do!

What a beautiful day it is today! Now here’s to hopin’ that it stays like this! I’m ready for spring to be here and to stay here! There are just so many things that I want to do outdoors…I’m chompin’ at the bit to get going with my spring and summer plans…one of which is to find Babe.

Can you believe that I STILL haven’t found ‘im? He’s gettin’ good at playin’ these games with me…

As you probably know, the Governor of Minnesota was in town this past weekend for the fishing opener. I was lucky enough to be able to meet ‘im and to get my picture taken with ‘im at the Community Picnic in Pequot Lakes. He also told me that Babe was there just about an hour before I was and that he took a picture with Babe as well. That big blue ox is always just a few steps ahead of me!

I believe I heard that the annual plant sale is going on this weekend at the Northland Arboretum, so I may just have to hit that up. I love going there and talking to people about plants and trees. That’s somethin’ I know somethin’ about. Plus, if it’s a nice day, I couldn’t think of a better place to spend my Saturday than walking around that Arboretum. It’s such a pretty place…I know that doesn’t sound very manly to say that, but it’s true. I really like it there.

Anyway…I’m rambling, so I’m going to close for the day. I hope you all get out and enjoy this beautiful weather we’ve been havin’! Make the most of it and go out and explore the Brainerd Lakes Area!
