Still a Whirlwind
The days are rushing by. Saturday was spent mostly resting in the morning from Friday's activities and then in the afternoon and evening, more reuning. Carey and I attended the memorial service for Peg Jackson, an English professor we had both taken several courses with, followed by the cocktail hour before the alumnae dinner, the dinner, at which they picked the winners of the raffles, including my painting of the Northland bridge (see Sunday, February 5 in this blog), and then more socializing at the Boar's Head, now part of the Deep Water Grille (http://www.southshorebrewery.com/).
Sunday morning I finished painting Mom's wall for the mural, (but now I am changing my idea about the mural since the wall looks so good just painted blue) and in the afternoon I rode out to Cornucopia (http://www.cornucopiawisconsin.org/) with Kaye, Terry, Carey and the kids to see the progress on Kaye and Terry's cabin and then stopped at the beach so the kids could swim for awhile before we went to the Village Inn (http://villageinncornucopia.com/) for dinner to celebrate Kaye and Terry's 12th anniversary. Charles and Charley Lauren, as well as Terry's dad and one of his sisters and her husband, joined us at the beach and for dinner. I drove home with Charles and Charley Lauren and we stopped at their house on the way so I could see Dylan's room, remodeled by Charles and Dylan since I had last been home.
Yesterday, Susan and Carl and Glenda and Butch all left early in the a.m. Susan and Carl headed back home to Kentucky but Glenda and Butch drove to Chicago to catch their flight to Spain, where they are planning to drive to Pamplona so Butch can run with the bulls, something he has taken a ribbing (npi) for for the last several days, ever since we all heard about it. We hope he doesn't get killed! Someone asked what Glenda was going to do while Butch ran with the bulls and Kaye's smart aleck husband Terry said, "She's going to shop with the bulls." Well, yeah.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Mom and I went to Curves, met Mary Kay and Mom's friend and neighbor Betty there and then went for coffee with them before some shopping at WalMart and the County Market. We ate lunch at home and then ran in to town to see Mary Kay's new kitchen before I had a message, finally. It made me feel a whole lot better, that's for sure. Last night we all met at Copper Falls for a picnic: Mom, me and Tommy, Charles and Charley Lauren, Carey, Terry, Katy, the kids, and Mary Kay and Don. We hiked the lovely trails and then ate hamburgers and hot dogs, baked beans, potato salad and visited until almost 8 p.m.
This afternoon Mom and I, Carey and Sarah are meeting Jennifer, Charles' ex, for coffee or tea at the Black Cat Coffee House and hopefully we sisters and Mom are going to be able to to get reservations for dinner tonight at the Wild Rice Restaurant in Bayfield (http://www.wildricerestaurant.com/).
