My daughter was back out this month along with my son, it’s been a long time since I had both here at the same time. Life moves fast and it’s nice to slow down and swim in a windless lake or tow a tube with a kayak once in a while. Actually, they aren’t “kids” anymore, but I still think… Read more »
Yesterday was a trip with my daughter Meredith out on our friend’s Ranger 20. A day to slow down, smell the flowers, pose, and be an ad for Bells. 😀 Again, thanks for continuing to join me on this journey!
It’s with deep sadness that we report the passing of our dear Aunt Paula Gits. A woman with a penchant for fun, adventure, and laughs. She always brightened a room by just walking into it. The obituary says it all plus, here are some favorite photographs. Goodbye Paula, we love you! Our deepest condolences to Norb and the whole Gits… Read more »

I was looking through old photos taken by my Dad back in January 2005 for something to post to Instagram and ran across these, of an ice windsurfer! I don’t believe I ever saw one of these or knew it existed, but it looks like it works! Does anyone know who the rider is? Breaking: I have confirmed with Fishtown… Read more »
Not Leland related, but as we say, “Leland is where the heart is”. But this is a bit of inherited Norwegian culture that not many people have heard about and might find interesting. To say I’ve been busy the last couple of weeks is an understatement. I was with my girlfriend in Houston for a concert and to see a… Read more »
The 2022 Leland Report Calendar is the 16th consecutive calendar we have put out. For the last 16 years, I have assembled 12 of our best photos from a huge number to choose from. This isn’t as easy as uploading 12 photos and having a printer print out X number of calendars. I manually edited every page, placed all the… Read more »
It was a beautiful, windless day in Leland. Perfect for the return flight of the Otherside Shanty to its new foundation! A couple of “before” photos are below, one from this morning and one from December 2020 when the Shanty was lifted from its old pilings. Congratulations to #Fishtown Preservation and Biggs Construction and Kasson Contracting and all who contributed… Read more »
