Busy Tuesday

Today will be the celebration of DH 63rd Birthday with the kids and their kidlets!!  We are going to have a fish fry with the appropriate fixin's to go with it.  That means I must get busy with grocery shopping, cleaning, and all good things that go along with throwin' a party WAHOO !!

Also, preparing for a visit with sis Peggy, who will be arriving on Saturday.  So looking forward to some sib time together and putting together some fun things to do while she is here. 

Well must go and prepare a room for her to enjoy her stay in AND get the party mood flowin'

Perhaps a stop for a latte would be in order!!

Later Gators...............

Tuesday Post

Ahhhh...today I finally had another latte fix, this time from Caribou.  One of my favs from there - a Northern Lite Vanilla Latte.  Yummy!!  Not so sure it was wise thing to do, as I walked for about 45 minutes with my daughter.  Well, we should have walked for an hour, but my poor legs..in particular..thighs, shins, ankles couldn't take anymore!!  Hmmm bad shape, or meds??  I only say this because when I picked up my Simvistatin last night the pharmacy had tagged my perscription--if you take Diltiazam and Simvistatin it could cause muscle pain.  Well, maybe that is why my calf muscles hurt so much when starting on a walk.  ALSO, that thigh that got hurt in the 2008 boat fall kills me after that walk yesterday.  sniff sniff

Had another busy week in Bayfield this past weekend.  The weather was picture perfect--HOT though.  Spent time with Dan and Cheryl,  Marian (the bear lady) and Steve and Matt Johnson.  Did get out fishing for the eve (4 til dark) and caught a small lake trout and a nice (5#) salmon.  Not so crazy about boating in the dark though, was glad to be dockside.  LOL  I did get some down time to sit on the upper deck, in the sun, under my umbrella, and knit.  sigh  

Thinking of Mom a lot this past week.....missing her immensely.  Well....I would never wish her back in the state of dementia that took her over....but just a phone call to say "Hi Mom, how are you?"  would be so fabulous.  We had some great conversations over the phone, trying to solve world problems and laughing our heads off.  Those were the days.
A beautiful Mass was said for her today.

Listening to Stevie Nix on the tv---will have to check into her newly released album!!

Have a great day!

Sunday's Brews



Labor Day Weekend

Day three of our break of routine as we spend the weekend in Bayfield, our home away from home, I guess you could say.  We came up on Thursday eve on an uneventful drive EXCEPT  for  just about hitting a big black bear crossing the road just outside of Oliver.  It was foggy and misty, AND those black bears blend right in with the darkness of the night.  Quick reacting of DH saved us YAY!

Friday was a gorgeous day, and after grocery shopping in Washburn we spent most of the afternoon boating with our friends Pat and Barb on Lake Superior........the guys took us for lunch at the newly opened casino on the Red Cliff Indian Reservation, just a few miles up the road from Bayfield.  They have a nice marina, which they intend to enlarge, and quite a nice facility.  It includes a motel and restaurant.  After returning home we quickly decided to have dinner here, and the guest list rounded out at 9.   We had a great time -  served Elk Steaks, lettuce salad, Barb Provo's famous hotdish AND upside down peach cake, which was awesome!!  Nice end to a fabulous day.

Saturday morning DH and friends headed out for some fishing at 5:45 am (which is WAY to early for this babe) and I did a few chores around the condo.   DH returned around 9:30 with just a very few fish caught (he is going for the salmon now)  and the water is probably too warm for them to be running much YET.  We went to the Johnson's for Happy Hour and ended up having a smorgasbord at their condo, of pork, chicken legs, brats, coleslaw, potato salad, sweet potatoes and yum yum what a feast.  Poor Jane had surgery on her foot two weeks ago and is not very mobile yet, otherwise we have gladly had them here.  Ended the eve watching an episode of 'Dexter' behind closed eyelids!!  LOL

Sunday morn (today) found cloudy, foggy skies and wind.  Not much chance for fishing, so DH joined me at Holy Family Church in Bayfield for Sunday Mass and then we went to Portside Restaurant for breakfast.  If you haven't noticed we do a LOT of eating while here.......and I wonder why I don't lose weight!!  Hmmm.....Ah yes, we are attending the marina Pot Luck at 5:00 pm .....
Made a chicken salad for the event.  Lot's of, you guessed it, FOOD.  The sun has managed to peek out a few times throughout the day, but remains windy and coolish...you can catch a hint of fall in the air I think.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring.  Haven't decided whether to go back home then or Tues early--we shall see  :-) 

THIS SAYS IT ALL
