Yesterday turned out really nice....not the dreary day that it started out as. We went to the Farmers Market like planned wearing raincoats and carrying umbrella's and shortly abandoned them. It was warm and windy but a great day for walking around at the market. Bought some great sour dough bread from a bakery from Elk River. I buy from him everytime I go to the farmer's market. Then we wandered toward the Flea Market, stopping to see the Osprey nest again.....which didn't dissappoint us, as the father was sitting at the top edge of the nest and two little ones inside. The Flea Market was as fun as always, but lots of spots open as the weather had started out cloudy....but still lots to see, and they have a lot more food booths then I remember seeing before. Gary wondered by himself, and found a pork chop on a stick. Judy and Gary both bought veggies (part of which we ate for dinner) and Kathleen and Gary found these great old asian embroidered pictures that were originally framed at Dayton's....and a Fish lamp for a total of $39 from a man who originally wanted $40 for the pair and $6 for the lamp....Gary has now donated the lamp for the cabin. (You have to come it see it)
We played some cards....Gary made a couple of great meals....worked with Gary to figure out how to put a presentation onto Powerpoint. I hadn't used this new version before....so it was a learning experience for me too. But I think we finally got his master page set up so we were happy. We also went on a boat ride....but had some problems starting the boat....so had to call Jimbo....then 5 minutes later had to call Jimbo cause I didn't know you didn't push the button in to move to reverse, and floated aimlessly towards shore till Kathleen took off her shoes and jumped in to save us....and I had to call Jimbo again....and he explained that I didn't need to push that button in on the pontoon.....only on the speed boat. So when Kathleen got us back to our dock and she got back on the pontoon, we were off for a beautiful ride around the lake....admiring all the beautiful cabins. We had seen them all from behind on a car ride out to the penninsala and around the West Lake the day before.
This morning Gary is hearing confessions and praising God on the deck.....while we drink our coffee and eat this wonderful bread that I got yesterday. No big plans for the day....we'll see what comes our way. Going to hate leaving tomorrow morning to go back to life in the city for a few days. I'll be back here as soon as possible. That's all the adventures to report....Love and prayers, m
