The Next Generation



We told both girls they were not big enough for this kind of picture, but Alison insisted. They both look GREAT! How exciting!

Sullivans Report on Hawkinson Hunting Lodge

For those of you who don't know, Uncle Mark purchased a Finlander Estate 30 miles north of Hibbing. On the property are 10 buildings including a sauna, bunk house (main lodge), trailer house, well house, mini barn (doll house), tool shed and other buildings that we just can't come up with a name for.

Hunting party consists of: Mark Hawkinson, Andy Heim and Mark Hawkinson.



First deer was shot on the Hawkinson property using Grandpa Krumwiede's gun. This was the first deer this particular gun has ever shot, oddly enough, within the first hour of hunting.








Main Lodge








Mark, inside of Main Lodge complete with heat, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, bunk beds, table, chairs, and futon. All the comforts of home including running water (except you have to "run" for the water). (Uncle Charlie's joke.)






We will admit that the land is beautiful!

Hello from the Sullivans





Here's the REALLY BIG NEWS from the Sullivan House. The above ticket is a scan of the actual Viking Ticket sold on October 28th for that game. Someone recognized PJ and Jim and gave us a copy. At the Sullivan house, LIFE DOES NOT GET BETTER THAN THIS! The picture is reported to have appeared on a Vikings Program also.

Dawn is busy, started Tennis and Basketball and also Daisy's (the first step to Girl Scouts). Charlie made a 'tennis room' in the basement for her and I sewed 7 little Daisy aprons (the uniform) for her troop. Nothing has changed.
Jim was home for a week looking for a job. While he was gone they colored his dog green with unsweetened Kool aid. Jim is now a lawyer, his swearing in ceremony took place a couple of weeks ago. But he has a green dog. Nothing has changed.
PJ is at West Point with Ellie this weekend going to a wedding. Most of his friends will be there, one is still in Iraq. PJ and Ellie are doing great.
April still loves her job and everybody loves her. She went with us to the Broadway play, The Lion King last weekend.

*** CAMP GRANDMA PICTURES ***

Here's everyone on our way to the Park. We had a really wonderful day. There was a craft project, music, a play, lunch, snack, no nap except for Aunt Shelly who was the only one there without any real grandchildren so she thought it would be ok to take a little break from all of the excitement.

I don't really qualify as a grandma because I'm not old enough yet, but here is my picture with the other grandmothers.
