Keeping Busy


Our last post mentioned frost and freeze warnings, but we avoided the worst.  Now that the calendar says mid-June, Spring is almost here (and we get by without jackets during mid-day).  We have had a lot of wind, with clouds and easterly winds, but the weather is getting better.  The trouble is…the warmer temps have brought out some fierce mosquito hordes.

Even here in the northwoods we have kept up our social life with at least 3 dinner outings: old family friends in Duluth, recent Nomad co-workers in Virginia, and cabin neighbors in Gilbert.

We’ve also been busy during our weekly visits to Duluth: Paige has helped her mother sell quite a bit of unused furniture on Craig’s List and we’ve loaded our new truck with a couple of loads of stuff for recycling.

Most of our cabin time has been spent with a little remodeling project in one of the bedrooms, which now has 2 new walls, a painted ceiling and new carpeting.  We will match this ceiling and floor in the other bedroom this coming week.
