The Cabin

Tim (my sisters husband)’s family has a log cabin, which they built themselves, up in the lakes area of Minnesota. I’ve long wanted to visit. Tim totally downplayed it, but damn it was amazing. Tim’s dad did a week long course, and then over the course of 2 summers, Tim’s eldest brothers built the cabin (as 20 year olds). I definitely didn’t take enough pictures of the place! But it was great to see the old picture book of how they built it. Seeing the clever tools you use. This isn’t about their cabin, but there’s quite a good blog about building a cabin here.

It was a wonderful little retreat. We headed up there on the Friday evening, and spent a lovely long (Memorial Day) weekend fishing, canoeing, eating, playing games and just having a really lovely time. Even got to see pelicans.
