It’s been in the 90’s here for a lot of days now… I can’t even tell you how many, but I can’t remember the last time it felt cool. I love it! The swimming has been fantastic, and the computers have only been open as necessary. Hence, you’ve all been reading the same blog posts for about a month now. 🙂
Since I last wrote, a lot has happened, but not much has changed. 😉 Bill and I went over to Cass Lake and spent a night with Bill & Barb and Bill & Arlene. We went out to the Deb’s property for an afternoon, though Barb and I spent a good hour and a half in the air conditioned shops of Bemidji before heading to the hot land. It was a nice trip and a good chance to get some time with Bill’s grandparents.
Our house has been hopping… Lo and Mike have been out, Kerrisa, Tina and Jordan, and who knows who else has come out to jump off the boat or take their turn on the tube. It officially feels like summer and I am enjoying every moment that I can feel like a kid.
I did turn the big 26 a week ago. I got 3 different kinds of desserts – so you know it was a good birthday!
I also ran a 10 K on the 4th of July. Unfortunately, I haven’t done much since. So, this morning I braved the heat and hit Raps Road for a little work out. I allowed myself to walk up every hill and run the rest – since it was so hot! The real reason is that I’ve quickly gotten lazy! I’m going to try to kick it into gear until I leave next month.
I still haven’t booked a ticket to Unalakleet. Bill leaves a week from tomorrow to hit Valdez and then Talkeetna. So starts the beginning of year 2 with our hit and miss schedules. I think I’ll be up North for a couple of days mid-August and then back for Heidi’s wedding and home until I train in Anchorage at the end of August. Bill’s going to be enjoying our new place all by himself for a good part of the fall, so if anyone would like to keep him company plan to come visit!
April and I have big plans of fixing up our toes this afternoon, so I guess it’s about time to close the computer.
I hope you’ve all been well, and I look forward to being in touch!
xoxo!
I’m envious of your summer! How I miss the lakes up north. Even though Kandiyohi County is “Where the lakes begin,” there’s just something wron about swimming in a prairie lake. Give me pine trees any day!
Will you still be in the Cook area around August 21st? We’re coming up for our last trip of the summer, and we’d love to say hello if you are there. If not, I’ll have to be content to keep emailing you until our paths DO cross again!
Love ya,
Melissa
