Here are the latest happenings in my life… as promised!
April and I decided to be good sisters and help Laura move a bunch of her stuff down the road to the new house they will be renting. It’s a very cute little house… the landlord has just finished recovering some beautiful hardwood floors that had been hidden beneath 70’s green carpeting. It’s also got a very charming little front porch. We made about 4 or 5 trips with the truck and Lo’s car. It went quickly and wasn’t too tough. I’ll have to recruit them up to Alaska next May to move me out! 😉
Dad took off for Trout Lake this morning. I would’ve loved to take a camping trip, but time is short as it is. Maybe later this summer we’ll head up just for the day. It’s been forever since I’ve been “for-real†camping.
I was planning to meet up with Mom this evening, as she was supposed to be up in Cook for a hair appointment. Apparently Trish might have to cancel. We’ll have to see. I guess we’ll catch up next week for our traditional 4th of July events.
April and I went and visited Nicole Whitney and her little boy Keenan, yesterday. He is just precious – 2 weeks old today. It was nice to catch up with Nicole. I bumped into my friend Amy today, also. That’s the wonderful part of being home… it feels so normal.
Gramp and I sat in the hot tub for a while last night. He likes to float around… claims the water’s too high to keep him in a seat. Gram came over to visit but says she’s got to find her swimsuit yet this season. We’ll see about that. Anyway, Grandpa just swung by with the mail. He’s always sure to let me know who received what. Today I got nothing, but Dad, Ape, and Bill all have envelopes on the table.
It’s now time to post this entry and close the computer. Hope you’re all enjoying some sunshine!
Welcome back! It sounds like you’re having a nice summer! We really enjoyed this week at home, but now we’re off for a camping weekend–it sounds like we’ll get some storms on a couple of the nights, so hopefully things go alright. We’re heading up to Glendalough State Park in the Fergus Falls area. Some good friends from Willmar were supposed to join us, but his mom was recently diagnosed with cancer, so they are staying behind to help out on the family farm.
Enjoy your 4th!
Love,
Melissa
