I
got up and doing my usual relaxing morning routine and Steve gets up gets
dressed right away and it is only 6:45..we plan to go to Washburn to talk to
zoning about the permit paperwork that Steve can’t make sense with. When he called they told him the best time to
get there is right when they open at 8… and I guess he took that seriously and
was going to get there right when the door is unlocked. I told him no one likes to be having people
sitting right outside the door and lets at least let them get their coats off
and their coffee poured.
We
left at 7:15… Murphy came along…. It is a beautiful drive ..Hwy C has been
resurfaced a few years ago. We saw a
couple deer in the ditches along the way grazing.
We
had been at the courthouse registering Beth’s land but that has been a long
time…we found it and it was a 10 after 8.
They
didn’t tare down the old courthouse but added onto it…and zoning was in the old
part…very cool…modernized but still had that “step back in time” naustaltia..
Rob
Sheirmann wasn’t in today… our link to Hutchinson…his Aunt and Uncle in Hutch and
go to St A’s.
Jennifer
was there and she answered all of Steve’s questions.. she was very helpful and
told us that Steve did better than most
people in filling out the form..
We
left there…I was looking for garage sales but didn’t see any signs.
Stopped
for groceries at the IGA…while I was shopping I got a text from Beth to stop at
the IGA if we had time it was a nice grocery… funny…
I
picked up the coffee Cameron’s woods and Water… debated on the size to get but
ended up getting the whole beans in the largest package… the best value and
since I am back drinking a couple cups a
day we go through it faster.
I
picked up some Pistachio Gelato… looked good…I think I first heard of that out
in Fountain Hills visiting Janet.
We
left there and stopped for Breakfast at
the VI …we shared the Jason special… plenty just ½ …so good.
We
then drove by Sisikwit falls to check it out and then over to saw hi to Susan
but she wasn’t in so left her a note.
On
the way through Herbster we stopped at the Willow Motel… we have wanted to
check it out for people that come to visit.
The
lady had some water trouble to the cabins… her son was there helping her and
she had dug a big trench to get to the pipes… poor lady she just lost her
husband in October…she ended up crying…I hugged her…afterwards I wondered if I
should have done that but she hugged me back….they had been married 48
years…she was 68… little thing and digging that trench herself…
Steve
gave his 2cents on the subject … hopefully it isn’t a busted pipe just froze
up… the rooms were $50 for the smaller ones without a kitchenette…and 65 for
the kitchenette…they had bathrooms with showers… microwaves…very clean …I would
love to give her business.
I
got an e-mail from the closer …I went to download the document on my phone
and somehow deleted the whole e-mail…I
messaged Linda…she was on her way to the office and would forward her copy to
me… she did and had also called Juanita and the paper work would be sent to
rural development either that day or Monday for sure… so like she said 3rd
time is the charm!
We
came back home …I read some… tried some gelato…it had melted a lot…but was sure
good..…Steve went over to visit with carl about a plumber he would recommend…we
did get a list of master plumbers in the area who did the perk tests
themselves…so that would come off the bill… instead of paying someone an extra
$700…
He
came back and said he did recommend this one guy ..but he is in trouble for
drugs and underage sex with someone… hmmm…okay then.
We
were sitting outside and Patty walked up with Rex….she had gotten off work
early.. she gave Steve some phone#’s I
guess that guy is her daughter’s husbands Uncle…
She
said “ do you hear Carl tilling the garden?
You better call him and tell him to knock it off you are trying to enjoy
the quiet North country…”
Carl
came up on the 4 wheeler and Rex was barking at him…he is going blind…
We
had a good visit…and after they left the sun was starting to set and I figured
I better take my shower now because the next few days aren’t going to be that
warm and needed to do it while the water was warmed…not hot but good.
I
helped Steve put it up and went in and stripped…put on my poncho…what a
site…skinny legs hanging out…
It
felt so good… after I was finished I told Steve he needed to take one… he was
tired but decided I was right… I think he was glad…I took a selffie of us both…
nice and clean.
I
thought I had bought seasoned chicken breasts ..which they were but the were
also stuffed …so started up the oven to bake them in there… threw some potatoes
to bake too.
I
fixed a plate of veggies and dip for us to snack on so that took care of our
veggies for supper.
Steve
went exploring behind the house in the Ravine… I went looking for him and he
came out with a pine bough filled with pine cones…it was beautiful…wish it
would last.
We
came in to eat and at dusk we heard a lonely coyote howling…
Later
in bed we heard the whole pack …wolves sound a lot cooler but that is
okay....like the coyotes talking too.
