LAKE SUPERIOR CIRCLE TOUR

It is funny, I just have been busy since my Lake of the Woods fishing trip. We had or Remer Harvest Festival the second weekend in Aug. We were super busy the day of and I had picked up Autumn and River so I could have them with me for a few days. Their second long visit this summer. Had them for 5 nights. They sure are fun to have around. We rode the bee to town every day we could for ice cream and they were in the parade for me for the Garden Club. I was busy at the fire hall and this year we actually ran out of sandwiches. A first. As cashier looking down at the line was pretty overwhelming. I think we made over $2000. Next year we will price meals, not individual food items. Will be so much easier.

The goal was to have all the kids up the same weekend, didn't work out that way but it sure was fun anyway. Had John & Pam, the four kids and a very nice friend of Alex's, Phil, Carrie & Dave and the kids and of course the two labs, Alex and the two kids and Buddie, Jeff was at his 20Th class reunion so he couldn't make it and Skye had to work on Sat so she couldn't make it and Mac got strep on Thurs so he Laura and Hope couldn't make it. Next year we will do it the middle of Aug and maybe everyone can make it. I love seeing them all together. I was even able to get the house back together so when we come home it will be to a clean house. I love it

BACK TO THE LAKE SUPERIOR CIRCLE TOUR

,This is our first night, it's at Northland Camping & RV Park. Address is South Range WI. We are only 5 minutes out of Lake Superior, we have stayed here before three years ago when we stayed 5 night up in Two Harbors on the North Shore and came here for two nights. It was the year before we saw the tall ships and we drove up for a Sunday this year to see 8 tall ships, There were only 3 the first trip to see the tall ships.
We didn't leave Remer until at least 1 pm. We drove to Duluth/Superior via Grand Rapids, I misplaced the camera somewhere, Jim got us a new one. I wish I could remember where. I think Jim plans on cutting across to Ashland WI or somewhere - anyway it's about a 4 hour drive, I don't want to hurry around the circle, I got him out here camping and I have to take full advantage of it. It is now 6:15 am and I have been up for hours. Brought two library books, turns out I have read one before but it was a good read, I will read it again. They are in large print so it's easier. That's why I use bold, it is so much easier to see. We both got shots in our left eye on Tue before we left, I also got lazer in mine. What fun. We are greatful they have treatment for both of us.
