A gorgeous morning here, mid 50's, birds singing and calm outside. Coffee tastes excellent as I wake up to get this day rolling. Road trips, fun, helping with work and visiting have pretty much been the life since last Thursday. Peggy and I went to the Crow Wing County Fair last Thursday night and had a ball. Fair food, looking at the 4H displays, animals and booths, the garden exhibits and listening to the music made for a wonderful night under the stars. Friday, after work, we drove off for the weekend to visit her daughter and help with housework. We got there and were presented with "the list" of things that needed attention.... a good long list. The weather was very warm, sunny and good for doing lots of things. Peggy and her daughter painted the new babies room while I did yard work, appliance repair and other stuff.... a fun busy way to help. We ate good and had a great visit, doing some shopping and doing the "Caribou" thing for good coffee treats too. Nice to travel south and back with the traffic heading the other direction both ways. Perfect driving weather, although we drove through some fierce rain for a few miles on the way down. Yesterday, we headed out again for another road trip. West this time to visit her parents. Again, good weather and lots of fun, we brought Scooter and Charlie to visit her Dad. We helped clean out some clutter from his garage and shed, had a great lunch and toured his garden. Always great to visit family, catch up on stuff, and just be together. On the way back to Brainerd, we drove through Motley and into the woods, near a lake where I have a couple of lots for sale. I've not seen them for a few years, and Peggy wanted to see them. There was road construction, and we needed directions a couple times, but we found them. Wooded thick, but a great location, maybe there will be some interest in them when the roadwork is completed. There is some development in the area finally, this area has been pretty much the same for years. Dairy Queen next for a refreshing treat and finally home to kick back and relax after a flurry of work and fun. Today I work a short shift in receiving, and after we are going to just hang out, watch a movie, go for a walk and unwind after being gone and doing so many fun, good things. Now to get ready too, for a rummage sale coming up this Friday... lots of interesting stuff for sale, and it will be great to get rid of a lot that is taking up room now in Peggy's garage.... it should be a hoot! oh yeah!
No pictures of interest to post this time.... just good memories of travel, house work, visiting and fabulous times together. Miracles every day, appreciation of wonders all around us, making Life and Love fabulous!
Peace!
