A Couple of Rainy Days

Our last blog was just over a week ago.  Since that time we have had a few rainy days, but not as many as were forecast, and we didn’t receive as much rain as was forecasted either.  The forecasts were, however, scary enough that we got the motorhome out from the cabin and parked down the road a few lots, just to ensure that we didn’t get stuck again.  After the weekend, we took it to a Winnebago dealer in Duluth for a repair estimate.  It will have to sit there awhile, until seen by an insurance adjuster.  In the meantime, we have “moved” into the cabin.

We did go to Mpls overnight on Wednesday for doctor and finance meetings last Thursday.  We got to see Brett’s girls and got them off for their last day of school.  They’re looking forward to the summer!  We also had a chance to have dinner with Rob and KJ as we haven’t seen yet this summer.  Great to see them again!!

Our new driveway and parking area had been planned for this past week, but that was delayed slightly.  We expect it will be completed this coming week – hopefully.

The road out front, Cabin Circle Drive is a private road, and is not maintained by the county.  Our area association hired a different contractor to grade it and repair last winter’s damage.  They did a great job.

Our association also planned a litter pickup on Co Rd #4, but rains on the last 2 Saturday mornings have forced postponements.  We are not sure when that will be rescheduled.

In the meantime, we’re enjoying some quiet time at the cabin – reading, knitting, and  walking.  Pretty boring stuff.  We came into Duluth for church this morning and then went to Red Lobster for lunch with Mom.  We did a few tasks for Mom at her place.  While we were at her place, a big ship came in on Lake Superior.  She has a great view of the lake!
