Welcome aboard! I have family members who have a cabin on Spirit Lake in your neighborhood. Our DDILs are from Apple Valley and Andover. Our sons live in Plymouth and Eagan with their families.
It's a small world. I treasure Minnesota and enjoy visiting. The state reminds me of the Upper Peninsula in many respects, except for the traffic in Mpls. and St. Paul:)
Hope you'll like it here and continue to post ideas.
