Holiday Greetings from Tetu to all of you!  I hope your holidays have been enjoyable and you have been able to spend some quality time with those you care about.  Our Christmas was busy, which is a first here in MN for us!  We had plenty of company from out of town, and with Scott and Kate around, it was a magnificent holiday and really fun New Years!  Both of our mothers were here with us for about two weeks also!

Today we finished up with new carpet for the sport show booth! Ed will be able to pick up the new photos we chose and we're excited about the "new look" for the 2011 Tetu Island Lodge Booth display!  We have needed this for awhile and we love it and hope you can come to one of the shows we are attending to get a look at it!

Our first show starts January 13th, in St. Charles, IL at the Pheasant Run Convention Hotel and Convention Center. Tetu will also be attending the American Outdoor Show in Chicago-Rosemont on January 26th through 30th. He is more than ready to get on the road and begin working again to get the reservations going for 2011!

Our winter is flying by with both of us working on the remodel of the house here in Minneapolis.  It is nearly finished and has been worth the wait! It was awesome entertaining over the holidays and so great to have room for everyone!  The dogs are also enjoying their winter, except we have recently found out that our poor yellow lab, Caliber is going to have to have another surgery on her right hind leg for the exact same injury she had LAST January on the LEFT leg! Whew~this little girl is expensive! But hopefully she will be good as new by the time we return to the island in the spring. She has a fantastic surgeon and a great vet to help us through it all.

We thank all of you who sent us your beautiful Christmas cards and holiday photos and wishes! We love hearing from you and seeing your families! It's always thrilling to have Tetu Island Lodge on the front cover of your holiday greetings!

If you are planning on a trip this year, I would suggest you get your reservations in as soon as possible-The weekends are filling quickly and we always want to try and fulfill your wishes on dates.  We certainly can use some "help" with any bookings from you, or others you might have shared our Tetu info with! This economy doesn't seem to be magically improving like we had all hoped it would, but Ed and I are still so grateful for all our wonderful customers and the reservations~

Any questions or comments you might have, please contact us through the phones, emails, or Facebook.  Hope to see some of you during the sportshow season! Thanks for taking the time to read our blogs, view our web site and we hope you enjoyed the beautiful 2011 Tetu Brochure.  If you would like us to mail you another one, or have someone in mind, please let us know and send us the address and we would be happy to mail it out right away!  We LOVE to share Tetu!

Happy New Year to all of you!
