HOME FROM THE NORTH – UNTIL NEXT TIME

Tuesday morning, just a little after noon.
We rolled into The Study late, ca. 9:00pm with an impossibly overloaded car, two tired humans, and one four legged hairy dog person.

Thank God for a safe trip home.

The Kayla Elise is out of the water; the four boat poles are carefully stacked in camp; and the Northern Camp is winterized and put to bed.

Few neighbors were left in our end of things and we bid farewell to those that were available throughout yesterday.
We’re home a couple of days early, but the weather forecast made the move a good one.

We shopped the area villages day before yesterday for family items and for Dear Wife’s DKG (teacher professional society) auction which will take place in November, just after Thanksgiving.
The sky was alternately partly cloudy, cloudy, and then full of rain.

It was like late fall and it was fun.

And we were saying goodbye for awhile to all our fav stores and storekeepers and streets and parking places and bay fronts and ambience and atmosphere and stuff like that.

And then back to camp to start packing up for the departure yesterday.

Breakfast and lunch were eaten at camp, but dinner was in an eatery in Cedar, Michigan, in which the waitstaff knows us and provides favorite drinks and even suggests fav menu items they think Dear Wife would like to eat.
And they check on Sophie Matilda for us during the meal!!

Now, that is really above and beyond the call of duty.

A highlight during drive home was a brilliant, immense full moon, yellow, high in the sky – we stopped a couple of times and tried for pictures of it.

Not sure how they will come out.
At any rate, home safe and tired and partially unpacked.

Today, bacon/egg breakfast - catching up on what is happening in world and family for the last two days – then off for a hike and then down to Dear Daughter’s home for hello dinner, giving of a few tiny gifts, and the watching of a TV show Daughter recorded for Dear Wife.

How sweet it is!!

A new load of firewood is expected any day – and there is plenty to do around here to get ready for the changing seasons.

Thank the Good Lord for all blessings.
