What do you love about water?

The beauty and the power of water. I have never been a strong swimmer, but by kids are and will be. Max is 7 and Makena is 6 and they have been in swimming non- stop since they were a year old. Max is a Fish at the YMCA, Makena is a Minnow. they really love being in the water. I like being on top of the water. I am a certified SCUBA diver and really enjoy under the water as well.

What is your favorite water-related activity?

Fishing is #1 for sure. Love ice-fishing and really enjoy pulling a walleye onto the boat.

What is your favorite water memory?

Scuba diving in square Lake and ice fishing in Aitkin. Also our recent week on rainy Lake is right up there. who do you think of when you are thinking of water/lakes? someday (hopefully soon) owning a cabin on a small lake. Will take any leads on property!!!

When you go to the lake:

Do you like to get away from it all? No phones, no e-mails, no television? Or do you like it posh? Hot tubs, dining, and massages?

We stayed in a family cabin on Grindstone Island on rainy Lake. He running water was lake water filtered for cleaning up, not for consumption. Of course, there was an outhouse.

Walleye for dinner on the grill sounds perfect to me. Of course, a nice pontoon ride to a nice resort is a must at least one night of vacation.

What body of water would people be most likely to spot you on?

Big Marine north of stillwater. Of course, the st. Croix river. I can't tell you the ice fishing lake in Aitkin or I would lose my family privileges. I have been sworn to secrecy. you should taste the crappies!!

What distant lake would you like to visit someday?

I will go back to rainy Lake. I have not spent time on vermillion; would love to do that soon. After a week on rainy I will reconfirm: there is NO BETTER summer vacation then a lake in Minnesota.

And for good measure:

What good movie have you seen lately?

Sweet Land

What good restaurant have you dined at lately?

I'm a huge fan of the Bayport Cookery.

The only water I don't enjoy is on a golf course!
