(Eagan, MN - July 2, 2008) The days spent at the family lake house on Hammal Lake near Aitken, MN were great -- great weather, great fishing, great relaxation. We calculate that Jan and I caught at least 3 dozen fish, mostly Northern pike ranging from small to medium size. And each of us caught one bass which I am proudly holding.
When not fishing, we spent time enjoying the house (really a 50' house trailer) to which niece Heather and her husband Kyle recently added new carpeting and flooring in the kitchen/dining area.
Today we returned from the woods and spent a little time with brother Leonard and his wife, Jolene, at Hayfield, and back to Eagan in time to take my daughter Alissa to dinner at Luci Ancora in the Highland Park section of St. Paul. It was a terrific meal!
Tomorrow the trip back to New Jersey begins. More will follow...
