Hi I'm glad you're here. I am going to try a home page and I hope in time it will be a nice place to visit. My name is Brenda and after 20+ years of being a single parent and my children all grown up I decided to try it again and get married.

My husband Russ and I went out about 20 years ago but he married someone else! I told him he would be sorry and sure enough 9 years ago he called and now I'm married!

We had a beautiful place that was near Minneapolis Minnesota. The "Big cities" were getting too close for us and we began to look for our dream. Would you believe we found it near a little town in north central Minnesota named nimrod (don't laugh that really is its name). Nimrod (which means hunter) has a population of 72. In the early 1900's it was a booming logging town and had grocery stores and hotels and a few restaurants but now it only has a gas station, Church and a bar. Now don't laugh we are not real primitive, about 20 miles away there is a town named Menahga which is the gateway to the pines of Northern Minnesota. A great guy named Dave ownes the spirit lake motel there so if you are visiting Nothern Minnesota stop and see him, you'll enjoy yourself, great fishing! Anyhow, we found 11 acres with 700 feet of river frontage on the beautiful crow Wing River. The only traffic I ever see is canoes.

Now 11 acres of woods takes some work to get a house built on it. The first time we came here I got 50 feet from the truck and got lost! But Russ got busy and all by himself cleared and built a wonderful home in the woods.

When our children sing over the river and through the woods to grandmas house its true.

Our new neighbors are kind of cute.

And the people are nice too!
