nothing like making coffee for the whole tiny hotel
because you wake up first
since the sign in paradise asks you to .
the little campground store in grand marais
has pretty relaxed hours
perhaps you might even find it open sometime
when you stop by.

Kiki, if you click on the photo and then click again, the sign blows up super clear :) Not so much on the sign outside the store, though ;-)

Dale, thank you, it’s the outdoor sign I also couldn’t decipher though. ON my phone where I read the post first, nothing could be read…
It’s nice that you helped me with the brewing bit!

Hi Beth
Don’t want to interrupt your break in Paradise but when you have a moment could you email me at bridget at bridgetwhelan.com. I would like to send you a copy of Mrs Finnegan’s Guide to Love, Life & Laxatives. You have so such an encouraging supporter I know Mrs F would want you to have it.
