Our summer at the cabin is wrapping up quickly now. We just pulled the raft and dock out with the
help of our neighbor. We have 3 full
days to transfer all our stuff from the cabin to the motorhome and spend one
more day in Duluth for laundry and groceries before leaving on Friday morning
for Elk River.
This past weekend David and LeJoy came for a visit. They brought a box of apples from a tree in
their yard so LeJoy and Paige made Apple Crisp and Applesauce. Bob and Dave went to McCarthy State Park for
a hike. We had such a nice time and it
was hard to see them leave. They have
the honor of being our last company for the summer. Another reminder that our time at the cabin
is ending.

After the left, we had a beautiful Sunday afternoon, when we
could sit alongside of the motorhome and watch the renewed Vikings team record
their first (of many) wins this season.
As we go on our golf cart rides around the circle, we think
of all the things we did up here this summer:
- Having kids and
granddaughters up here at various times
- Spending time with Grandma
Joyce and doing things with her (celebrating her 85th birthday
in July)
- Picking raspberries
- Getting to know neighbors
better, meeting new neighbors, and seeing old neighbors
- Playing cards and games
with neighbors
- Enjoying campfires
- Going for a couple of boat
and motorcycle rides
- Spending time with cousin
Steve and family
- Having KJ/Rob and
Almekinders visit
- Walks around the circle
- Quiet time reading our
Nooks, knitting, and playing Cribbage (Bob enjoyed this more than Paige as
he usually won!)
Today is windy but sunny and quite warm. The forecast, however, is for a high of 45
and rainy by Wednesday. This is nature’s
way of preparing us for the move south!
We get to spend a week at Brett’s where we’ll take care of medical
appointments and spend time with all the granddaughters and other family before
we start our Nomads project in Park Rapids.
