Today is Dick's and my 35th wedding anniversary. We decided to eat at Lost Lake Lodge north of Brainerd.

We ordered a dinner for two "special" for $69.00!! We each ordered walleye that was steamed in a parchment pouch.

The restaurant has a grist mill where they grind their own flour and make their own bread. That is what drew me to them.

We were seated next to a window with the most spectacular view… as the sun sank lower and lower and we reminisced about puttering along in our boat with our three little girls in that very Gull Lake Channel so many years ago… until darkness fell… and we began the first day of our 36th year together.
