...and the worst pictures!
I forgot to charge
my camera the night before.
To say I was disappointed
is an understatement.
My daughter wasn't
much into sharing hers.
I got what I could.
Grand Marais, Minnesota
I am pretty sure I could move here.
I know I could sit on the shore
of this marina forever
and a day.
So probably best
if I don't live there.
Ben Franklin.
One of the last remaining
five and dime stores.
This brought back great memories
of staying with my grandparents in Duluth, MN.
One special days,
Grandma and I would take the city
bus downtown to "her"
Ben Franklin.
Penny candy
and lots of treasures
were always within my grasp.
To see this one
with heartwarming.
Tours were provided on this lovely
sailboat
but we were unable to
ride.
We relished it's beauty from
the shore.

I just love the Lakes in MN. Kabetogama is one of my favs. there's just something about that northern woodsiness and deep cold water that suites my fancy.
Fun to see the Ben Franklin. I too remember what mom called the five and dime store.

Oh Jill these are gorgeous pictures...I could live there too.
Being around water is so peaceful
Ben Franklin...oh those are some good memories
Hugs madi and cecilia
wow! we had a ben franklin's in the 'city' about 10 miles from my home town. i LOVED going there! we always parked in their parking lot, so always went thru their store to get to the 'main street' to find penneys, sears and woolworths. :)
That place looks amazing ! Have a wonderful weekend
I think living here would be quite amazing and relaxing :-)
Oh Jill I love memories that stir from the beautiful places we visit.
I could sit there and watch the boats on the water all day too. Great shots Becky:) B
Now I would love to live there! sandie
We always visit GM when we go up to the shore in October. We also love the Ben F. store, so glad it's still there. I'm enjoying your posts Jill, looks like a grand time.
I can almost imagine the sounds! Ben Franklin..oh my...I used to walk across the bridge in Grand Forks ND during lunch hour to a Ben Franklin. My friends and I sat in a booth and had sodas and chips for lunch. Oh the memories!
I certainly see why you could live there! Breath taking. We had a Ben Franklins in my small home town as well:)
The Ben Franklin photo was like a step back in time. Love that marina!
I can see why it would be your favourite place Jill.
I love the location of that home in your last photo - wow ... picture yourself on the verandah all day. I'm there already ;D)
Cheers xx
My ex-husband and I owned a Ben Franklin store in our little town - until larger stores moved in...
We used to go to Ben Franklin's in San Antonio in the 50's. Would be a nice place to live.
What is it about water that is so relaxing, makes you want to stay there all day.
Visiting memories and dreams of our mind brings such rewards . . . I am happy for you and your 5 & 10 flash back!
I didn't know any Ben Franklins were left.
These are lovely pics Jill, and it looks like such a lovely place. So peaceful and quiet. I think I could live there too. :))
Oh how I miss ourBen Franklin store.
I love harbors. In my previous life, I lived on the coast and my Pa was a sea captain. My boyfriend was a sailor. His life, his love, and his lady was the sea. Sad for me...but he did give me a braided chain made of finest silver from the North of Spain ( my favorite song ever-Brandy- one hit wonder)

we shall buy the house in the last image, and live out our lives blogging and enjoying the view!!

We use to have a Ben Franklin here as well....been a long time since I was in that part of town to see if it's still there...neighborhood has really run down now...

Very nice. I love sitting by a lake watching sailboats! Wonderful photos.
Oh I know what you mean. I could move there too! Tired of the desert!
Dear Jill, I relate to the memories of going to the candy store with my grandpa. Those were such nice memories.
I understand how sitting and watching the water and boats is so soothing to your mind and soul. Blessings dear Jill. Catherine xo
