the vintage life in northern minnesota

In Remer, MN, you get to live a vintage lifestyle.  Pile all the kids into the old Ford and drive to town, sans seat belts.  Uncle Matt says they don't live by those rules in Remer.  Watch a little tv along with all the "stuffed" animals (deer, moose, bear, duck, fox) who came to the cabin long before you.  Have a campfire.  Eat smores.  Drink a few glasses of wine with Auntie Margaret.  Leave the dog unleashed and always wet.  Mildly freak out about bats swooping through the living room.  See the pictures and hear the family legends.  Sleep in 6 generation old beds.  Wake to fresh cut dinner plate dahlias on your bedside table.  Watch shooting stars on a late night lake cruise.
Soak it in.  Breathe deep.  Love your friends.
