A Light to Guide

What can a girl say about lighthouses?  Other than they rock!!!  So this love affair with lighthouses, I think it comes from my dad.  He is a history kinda guy.  He is a retired engineer, but always said if he would have fail engineering school then he would have been a history teacher.  I think he was much happier as an engineer with a history habit.  The man reads everything, coincidentally so do I (especially if it is nerdy!).  He is one of those people that can read a book and watch the history channel at the same time, and follow along.  He took us to see many a lighthouses in our younger years.  And even with a rather annoying fear of heights, I fell in love!

Light on a Lake

I went to college in Bemidji for my bachelors.  As I've mentioned Bemidji is about 2.5 hours from everywhere that is any where.  Don't get me wrong I adore Bemidji!  How can you not?  It is a lovely area, and a quaint town.  It's got character!  But even thought it has an awesome lake, none can compare to the one that Duluth has got.  I think it was my third year in Bemidji, when my roommate, my bestie, and I went to Duluth.  It was fall semester, 'cause Jess became my roommate the previous spring.  So the three of us piled in to my old Lincoln Town Car (named the Jonas Quinn II, but called the JQII, we all had a bit of a Stargate Obsession at the time, and I was madly in love with Jonas Quinn) and headed to Duluth.
