October 14th
It was warmer this morning..I had a message come in to my phone. I got into the car to answer it but had to drive to Arney Rd before I had service..it was from Beth her cell phone wasn't working and she couldn't remember the password..I called her and gave it to her.
I decided to go and pick some Rose Hypes on Herbster Beach .. the sun had come out but the wind was really strong.. I found lots, some really red ones too!
When I got back home I saw this motorcycle flying through the air on our land...it was Rocky.. He and Beth had come over!
I had the Chimichangas already put together so I put them in the oven for lunch.
Rocky wanted the Ariel of our land so he could roam the ravine..He is going to make a path for us.
Beth and I had lunch .. but Steve he wasn't hungry.
A red truck with yellow blazes on the side pulled in..it was Danny!
He was going to come yesterday but couldn't get moving..
Rocky came in and ate some lunch ..soon Virgene and Lance got here.. they had gotten a night stay at the Siskiwit Bay B & B for Christmas so were going to use it tonight.
Beth and Rocky left for home and I suggested we take a ride down to where the E & W Flagg Rivers meet.. it is only a couple miles down the road so we all piled into our car..Murphy too..I had only been there once when Beth and I ran there...there were a couple forks in the road but I did make the right decisions.. we got down there and parked and then it took awhile to find the path through the woods to the river..but we found it...I wanted Steve to see it because it is a perfect spot for Fly fishing ...there is even a bench for me to sit on and read while he fishes... maybe I can bring a picnic along... can't wait!
When we got back we got a fire going.. Virgene and I went to the store and picked up some hot dogs and buns.. she called the Inn to see what time check in was.. 3-5:30 ..so they had a couple hours..the store didn't have buns at the store so we got bread...that will work.
Virgene and Lance had stopped in Grantsburg at a Cheese place there and picked up some dip, Blue Cheese, and Romaine. I put out my Hot sweet pepper dip, it turned out fantastic!
Lance roasted the hot dogs ..initiating the new long hot dog stick .. he had a cold and seemed pretty miserable.
I made him some creeping charlie tea ..
They left for the Inn and we are confident the will have a better stay than if they stayed at The Beach Resort...
I saw Carl and Patty with Rex coming up the driveway so I leashed Murphy.
Last night was the Port Wing Community dinner.. they worked at it and invited us to next year help out too... the charge for the dinner is $15/person... but it goes back to the community.
They are such good neighbors..I asked if they thought we'd be able to make it up the driveway in November when we come up..Carl said sure..if there was snow he would plow our driveway for us.. so we may be able to get our Christmas tree after all!
Rex was happy when they got up and started for home... Murphy sure has been a bad neighbor for him!
We sat around the fire..it was so great having Dan with us! It was a perfect night ..the coals were glowing as the temp dropped we got closer and closer to the fire!
I got out s'more fixings ... the guys didn't want any..the coals were perfect for roasting marshmallows.
The fire was dying ..we did our best to keep it going with out adding more wood... finally we gave up and went inside.
I thought the clock said 9:30 when I was in earlier..but when we came in now it was only 8:30. Steve got the sleeping bag for Dan..and hit the hay! Dan and I stayed up and visited.
10:30 I finally headed for bed...
