Deep in the Pines

There is a very special place in this world known as “Deep in the Pines”.  It is a place of intense beauty and deep solitude.  It sits beside the beautiful waters of a lake in northern Minnesota and is home to a camp for individuals with special needs.  The property was once the home of the Deubners.  They were merchants who figured out a way to enable their customers to carry more goods home with them by inventing a bag with handles on it….the shopping bag!

                And we are here!

                This place is called Courage North.  Muggy’s sister and her husband have put their lives into this place for the past 25 years or so and we are here to help with a camping session beginning tomorrow as volunteer staff members.

                We used to live about 20 miles from here (we are near the small community of Lake George, MN) and we have wonderful memories of our times here.

                We will be here for about one week, so I may not be updating the blog daily as I doubt you want to read about what I had for breakfast!  But, I’m sure there will be events and activities to share with everyone while we’re here!

                Blessings to all this day!!
