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 :-)
