We just noticed that we only
posted once during July – Sorry, we will try to post more often, but can’t
promise it. We have had some more
company when KJ and Rob came for a long weekend. We had a good time playing cards, going for
walks, and a boat ride. They also
brought their watchdog, Kody.

After they left, we spent a day
in both Superior and Duluth, doing routine errands but we were able to fit in a
stop for lunch with Joyce at one of our favorite burger joints in Superior. We celebrated the signing up on Medicare and
a Medicare supplement for Paige. Should
cut the cost of healthcare for us a little bit.
We have had the area around the
cabin to ourselves for most of the summer, but our neighbors on both sides have
been here this past week. These 3 families
have a long history here on the Whiteface, so there was a bit of reminiscing
when they were all together. Joyce came
up on Wednesday for a barbecue with some of the neighbors and she also got an
opportunity to visit with Joe who bought the cabin next door about 6 years
before Cliff bought ours. Lots of
memories and activity with the kids around!
We took a few hours earlier this
week to get in a motorcycle ride, checking out a couple of new-to-us county roads
and stopping in at Mineview, a tourist information stop outside of Virginia
MN. Here on top of a huge pile of mine
tailings is an overview of some former open pit mines
They also had a couple of older mining trucks:
These have been retired since
newer trucks are even larger. These make
our motorhome look small.
The weather up here has been
perfect – sunny and in the high 70’s.
It’s so nice to be here when it’s like this!
