Another great day!
Went into town. Got what I needed at each of 3 stops. I saw signs for the parade. ??? I went home, put my items away, picked up my lawn chair, and went back into town.
Ha Ha----I did!!!! I went back into town and watched the parade!!!
Not much to it, but it was a big deal for the small town. And there were lots of spectators, as the County Fair was going on, the Farmers Market was open, and it was noon. The parade participants often spoke to their friends and family (by name) as they passed, having brief conversations. To the rest of us, they smiled, waved, said hi, and threw candy. Lots of it. I was back home about 45 minutes later.....
And was going to mow the lawn.
I got into the shed, and decided to sweep out the layer of sand and dirt from the floor. Doing so meant removing many items that had been just set in there. So I did, and finally got to the lawnmower.
Floor swept, items relocated to their familiar places, and I hear a car.
Sunday and Sophie arrived!!
Good timing, I needed a break.
They got unloaded, I went in for a break and to cool off a little. The wind was still a bit cool, but the sun was warm.
Back outdoors, I got the mower going. Yay!! I was making progress in the back yard when I heard a horn honk.
T & KS!!!! How nice!!
We all visited a bit, and I went back to mowing. Tom offered to finish up the front portion, which I appreciated. Thanks, Tom!
We all visited a bit before they left. I went in to shower; Sunday went in to fix supper.
I enjoyed my supper after getting cleaned up, and went back over to watch it get dark with S & S.
Tomorrow my childhood friend is coming for a visit. It's been close to 50 years since I've seen her....
Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Another great day!
Still cool and windy this morning. Frank left about 7 am to a beautiful sunrise.
About 10 am, though, the sun was warming up the temperature a bit.
After breakfast, I gathered what I needed and headed out for the afternoon. First stop, Transfer Station.
Evelyn had offered me to do laundry at her house "so we can visit", and I took her up on it. It was just one load; I had brought laundry products and had planned to do a wash at some point. And with it being so hot, everything I had worn was so icky. It was time to get it done.
We had a nice afternoon. When my laundry was finished, we went out for food. I took her back home, and went on to the GC myself.
Put things away, putzed around a bit, and went up to the campground to visit with Jeremy for the evening. We sat around the fire and watched it get dark. Sure was nice to spend time with him.
When I got back to the cottage, the loons were quiet vocal. They do make some unique sounds.
Sure is awesome here.

Another great day!
Last night, Frank called, wondering if there was any room in the cottage.
He was here in the morning! What a nice surprise!!!
We had a nice visit today, going into town for his errands.
He napped in the afternoon. I think he just needed a break from "life". What better place to rejuvenate than at The Lake???
He'll be leaving in the morning for an appointment.
I went for a run this morning. It was cool today--high 60's. What a difference! Nice to be able to breathe without perspiring....
Tomorrow I need to do a little housekeeping, take the trash to town, etc.

Another great day!
Sunshine, mid-80's, humid.
Jeremy Jenny and Matilda arrived about 11. Jeremy finished inflating the "tubes" to pull behind the boat, while I helped Jenny get some medication into Matilda. M had a fever, runny nose, glassy eyes, looked like she felt miserable.
The other group arrived shortly after--a set of parents, 3 teenagers, 2 pre-teens. We had a great time on the lake. Some water skiied, some tubed. Not much wind--those on the shore said the squeals and laughter floated in from across the way.... I sure have fun pulling them.
The clouds started moving in, getting darker, as predicted. I took the adults plus Matilda (who was feeling better) on a ride around the lake. We covered the boat when we got back.
Everyone pitched in, gathering possessions, putting things away, the larger family left, and as Jeremy finished the outdoors, Jenny and I showered Matilda. She had so much sand in her hair that it ran down her back!
Clean, second dose of medicine, snack, and they were on their way.
Sure was fun.
Supper, the storm hit to the south, knocking out power south of Hale to Whittemore. We had some straight-down rain for maybe 45 minutes, most of it a light rain.
Temperature dropped to low 70's (ahhh). I showered and had a quiet rest of the night.
Tomorrow--???

Another great day!
Today was a perfect Lake day. Blue sky with occasional white float-y clouds, very quiet water with an occasional puff of a breeze. *sigh*
I went for a run, had breakfast, showered. Napped.
Went into town for errands, came back, short "rest", had supper.
Visited Jeremy and fam over at the Alcona Park campground. Looks like a good set-up over there; they've got a nice site.
Back at the lake, a quiet night.
Tomorrow we're going to play on the water....
