Last Tuesday we got a break to clean, do laundry & prepare for the next guests to come. Wednesday my girlfriend Nancy, her husband Michael and their daughter Hannah come to spend the rest of their vacation with us. Joel even took Thursday & Friday for a mini vacation for himself.
Thursday the guys made a final Menard's list to finish making another 3 dock sections, so that when we went into town for the farmer's market we could stop to pick up the missing components. We got what we needed at the farmer's market & had lunch as well. Stopped into the Wisconsin DOT to do the last & final step of becoming WI residents......changing Joel's driver's license. After doing errands in Rice Lake, we headed home to prepare dinner. I snuck off to bed while the rest of them sat around the bon fire.
Friday the guys worked on the final dock sections while we us girls prepared for an afternoon on the boat. It was a beautiful day to spend on the island and a wonderful day to convince Nancy to stay on until Sunday evening and catch a ride with Kevin & Nicole. Mission complete! We also met some new friends, in fact these guys live in the A frame next the house on Sumner that we put in a full price offer and didn't get. Small world :) After dinner, the adults went on a cocktail cruise.
Kevin & Nicole were schedule to arrive late Friday evening or early early Saturday morning. We all we beat from being out on the lake all day long, so we all went to bed. Around 3:00 am the house was awoke to all 4 dogs barking as Kevin & Nicole pulled up. Once settled into the camper, the house went back to sleep.
Saturday morning Michael & Hannah needed to leave for home due to prior commitments. So once we had them packed & out the door everyone kinda went into low key mode. Brandon showed up about 12:30 to hang with Jonathan. I worked a couple hours before we went out onto the lake for the day. Joel gave Nicole a little swimming/life jacket lesson due to the little incident last weekend. Joel had been giving Nicole a ride on the jetski & they dumped. Nicole panicked & almost drowned Joel. So we told her before she went ont he jetski again she needed to learned about life jackets, what they do for you & how they feel when they are doing their job. After another fabulous day on the lake, we headed back to the house. After we all got cleaned up, dinner was in the oven & dinner wasn't due to ready for about 1 1/2 hrs.....Kevin, Nicole, Joel & I decided to do a little cocktail cruise. After a fine dinner and a long day on the lake....everyone turned in fairly early.
Sunday morning we were greeted with gloomy skies, so we headed back to Rice Lake to get more dock stuff as Joel decided to build one more dock section. I swear I have so much dock that if you were to drive by lakeside you would think I was a resort! lol Spent the rest of the day hanging out until Kevin, Nicole & Nancy take off around 5:00 pm. Once they left the sirens went off even though there were boats on the lake & the sun was shining. I came in and turned on the TV to find out there was a storm rolling in. It came & went in 30 minutes.......Joel finished up the dock.
This morning Brandon got up at 6:00 am to head home for work & Joel left at 5:00 to work in Duluth until Wednesday evening. Also today is the start of getting ready for my mini class reunion this upcoming weekend. Through Face book, we have been able to reconnect and back in February, decided to plan a party. Suppose if you wanted to get technical..... this would be a 28 year reunion.......Wholly Shit!
Weekends are filling up, so if there is a weekend you would like to join us.....let us know.
Check Back Often.......Check Back Soon
Joel, Amy & Jonathan
