Back in the Land of the Internet – Temporarily!

Because we don’t have good connectivity up here in the Northland, we aren’t able to update the blog often – sorry!  Today we took a ride to Virginia, MN to sit at McDonald’s and do some computer work, have coffee, and then go to our favorite fish fry in Gilbert, MN.  We’ll fit in a quick update on our fairly quiet life up here.

We have an appointment for repairs on the motorhome in Duluth next week.  We also have a contractor coming to put down Class 5 gravel so we have a better driveway to park on.  So we’re hoping that we can park the motorhome in a week or so  - without the problems we initially had!

Last week we spent a few days in Elk River, going to Sophia’s band concert, meeting with friends, and getting a grand-daughter fix.  Over Memorial Day weekend, we had the entire clan up at the cabin with us.  Grandma Joyce came up as well.  Quite an active time!  David took the girls on an educational field trip, up to the Soudan underground iron mine, which is now a state park:    
   
With the holiday weekend over, it was back to quiet time, with only the fulltime cabin people on the point.  This weekend the forecast is for rain so the weekenders may be staying home.  After fish fry tonight, it is happy hour on the point at our neighbors.  Tomorrow is the road clean-up day.  Just a few things going on to keep our hearts pumping!  We’re getting a lot of reading done.
