Where did the summer go?? When I arrived in July, I thought I had loads of time to do all the fun things we wanted to do. Now that we have less than a week left, we have to make every day count!
Thursday we spent the day at Lutsen Mountain Ski Resort hurling ourselves down the side of the “mountain” on their Alpine Slide. Talk about fun! It was my daughter’s first time to drive her own sled. I made sure I was behind her, just in case she decided to go slower than the next driver – I didn’t want anyone crashing into her. I need not have worried – I was going as fast as I liked and never once caught up to her!!
Friday was another beautiful day and we went fishing with my father in the afternoon. There is more to fishing than simply putting your line in the water! He caught three rainbow trout and I caught one. I’m sure that the one that stole my worm and got away would have been the biggest of the lot!
Saturday was the third lovely day in a row and we spent it at my stepmother’s family camp at an inland lake. The kids spent the day playing in the water and being dragged around in a huge tube behind a speed boat. I spent the day basking in the sun and eating freshly fried walleye. Doesn’t get much better than that.
It’s just as well we had so much fun the previous three days because Sunday it rained all day.
Now it’s time to turn my attention to buying those few things that have thus far been overlooked and packing up all my stuff. One thing that may not get packed is my ring – the jewelry with whom I left it hasn’t done the first bit of work on it. Grrrr…. He suggested maybe I could pick it up next time I’m in town, but what would be the point in leaving it with him? He’s had it since July already. If I left it, he likely wouldn’t touch it until next July anyway!!
I hate irresponsible merchants. Especially if he knew you were ‘transient’. He should have made it clear what his work schedule was.
Enjoy what time you have left.

He works on his OWN schedule . . . and no one else’s. Must be “nice”. (For HIM!)
