We've been spending time at the cabin with frequent visits to Duluth to check in on Paige's mom. She continues to make progress and is mostly using a cane now. Yesterday she took her car out for a drive without any problems so this will allow her more freedom now. She's going to drive up to the cabin for visits now.
Mid-May we also spent a few days in Minneapolis. We packed a lot into that trip: dinner with Brett's family, celebration of Pam's birthday at Ty and Jen's with the opportunity to see Leah again (how she's grown!), visit to our church where we got to visit with our minister who is moving to a different church in early June, lunch with David prior to going to Valentina's dance recital. Wow! We sure appreciate staying at Pam's so we can do all these things!
When we got to Duluth in May, there was a deficit of rain. Things sure have changed! It's been raining for a week or so now and there is no more deficit! Usually we have about 12 feet of beach from the grass to the water at the cabin. Not so now! The water is right up to the grass. We also have what we call the "Riewe Reservoir" - a huge puddly, mucky area in the middle of the yard whick we need to walk around.
Last week we rented a log splitter on Tuesday (the last dry day we've had coincidentally!) so that we could clean up all the logs laying around. We ended up with a big pile of wood that needed to be piled. With the kids all coming up Memorial Day weekend, we were banking on some people-power to do that work.
