It is early today - it seems early anyway. It's 6am, I have been up for awhile. Coffee is good today.
We had a very nice day yesterday. We went to the showers and then took the dogs for our 2 mile walk around the lake. It is fun to see what individuals have done to their lots to make them unique. We are going to church today at the main hall here at 9am then out to a beach. There is a wildlife preserve I want to go see with a 2 mile boardwalk.
Crystal Lake itself used to be two quarries. They are about 55 feet deep. One smaller lake and one larger one. We sure see lots of wildlife here right next to our shore.
We went over to Ron and Polly Maki's yesterday. He is the fellow that got me the interview at CH. We had such a nice time and Polly put herself out with lunch. Lunch indeed, we had salad, steak, baked and fresh warm homemade lemon pie for dessert. They live in a huge complex in their own 3 bedroom home about 9 miles from here. They said there were 14 tennis courts in their complex. They are huge into tennis. Haven't seen them for years so it was fun. He was saying Carrie yelled Hello at him last summer and he was so disappointed they were sitting down to dinner He wants her back so she needs to call him next summer and they will put on some steaks and would love to have her family stop by and visit by boat. He was really excited she would stop and say hello.
We left there and went to a pet store for the dogs. Got them some new chews and I talked to a sales clerk about "Greenies". Otto's teeth could use some work. She said she just watched a movie on usage of them and they should have one every day to get the stuff out of their teeth. I will have to look into that.
We drove out to "Barefoot Beach" we didn't go in. You need to pay for parking and they don't allow dogs, even to leave in cars. She said they had one incident last year where they lost a dog. Who would leave a dog in a hot car. We wouldn't, we will probably go back but leave the dog in the camper. This is their home and they will be fine for a few hours. We couldn't believe the homes along the drive to the beach. Millions, and millions of dollars there. Where does it come from. It's funny I feel so rich because I can take a vacation and in comparison, I probably am not. I don't care because I am rich enough for me and so very happy.
We have had bacon and waffles for the past two days, it's bacon from home from a restaurant in Deer River. We bought 7 pounds of it when we were there for breakfast one day. It's so funny, at home, you go in a cafe, if you like the bacon you can buy it in bulk and take it home. I can't imagine doing that here.
We came home and sat by the lake reading. What a pleasant day. It was over 60 degrees, maybe even more. Sun was warm and Jim loves it when it's not too hot. He is already looking forward to being at home. I miss home but love being able to not be cold. I could have worded that better - I wish my kids would read my blog but I don't think Ali and Skye do. Or Carrie or John. I think Mac does and maybe River. I do it more for me anyway. Helps me remember the funny stories. Jim and I are having such a nice time and haven't gone nuts over the small space. I think it's because we can be outside so much. I think my brother Mark looks at my blog but Heidi doesn't. Not her thing and face it, we talk every day. Too fun. I just love cell phones but we went over 100 minutes last month. Whoops! Why can't everywone be Verizon? I still need to learn how to put pictures on my blog. Sho much to learn, so dumb about computers. Boy kids have it all over the older generation.
