I and my wife retired from our business in 2006. After retiring we put a 38’ camper on a RV campground lot in northern Minnesota. The name of the town is Battle Lake. It’s a small town with great walleye fishing available. Our campground was small with 23 spots.
All was going well until October of 2018 when my faithful dog Katie of ten years passed away. Sixty days later on January 4, 2019 my wife passed away after a massive stroke. It was not a good winter.
I continue to live in St. Peter, Mn. In the winter and spend my summers at the camper. We’re down to 14 campers in the campground now. All very nice people. We have a good time. The owner doesn’t want to fill all the spots and it confuses us because it’s basically free money. He must have other plans in his head. He also has a great resort.
All four of my sons and their families live within 60 miles of my house so I can see them when I want.
Other than fishing I like feeding the birds and some woodworking.
