Another week has slipped by very quickly, so we must be having fun. Here it isThursday already. Last Thursday we left the suburbs of Minneapolis and parked the motorhome at the family cabin 200 miles away, to the north of Duluth. Spring hadn’t arrived there yet. The ice was off of the lake, but we saw a little snow in the woods along the way. We have a big project planned to recover the cabin’s siding with new vinyl before Memorial Day and there is a lot of preparation needed before that job starts. Brett and a friend had begun replacing some of the windows and a storm door a few weeks ago, and we brought up a few more new ones.
Here is some of their earlier work:
Here is what we found under what we expected to be an easy replacement.
On Friday and Saturday we got a couple of windows replaced and the electrical service changed. So here is what it looks like now:
On Mothers’ Day Brett went back to his family in the Twin Cities, while we went to Paige’s folks place in Duluth. On Monday the power company reconnected the incoming line and we cleaned up our construction/destruction debris. There was no reason to rush back to the Twin Cities, so we stayed at the cabin for the rest of Monday and Tuesday. Sure is nice to have flexible schedules!
For the next 10 days, we will be back in the Minneapolis area, meeting with friends and taking in a variety of end-of-year school programs that the grand-daughters are involved with. We are seeing that the leaves here have just now opened and the first crop of dandelions are opening, so spring has arrived (like we saw a month ago in TN).
