Let me catch up: Yesterday on August 22 Tuesday, we were at the Backyard Deli for the Tuesday special of "any burger with choice of side $6.95." After Chuck ordered the Rajun Cajun and I ordered the Barbeque Bacon burger… I raised my water glass in toast to "another great day!" and Chuck said, "Yesterday wasn’t great with a rain storm on eclipse day." And I said, "Yes, but we had fun at dinner… Rookies with $1.00 burgers and popcorn." Then I realized that August 21, eclipse day, was for us like watching everybody else in the US get eclairs and we didn’t…. Chuck was unkind enough to remind me that I chose to go to Clear Lake Iowa. Naughty Chuck.
Today dawned a beautiful albeit chilly day, and we fell into our Wednesday routine of 8:30 Mass in town, the bug man coming, work on the 1500 piece puzzle, and plan the few days of labor day weekend when we will be back on the road (we will go north to the Apostle Islands and take a boat ride). Then it was time to go on the boat to the Landing Bar and Grill to sit outside in the sun. The 2 lake side pubs close for the winter: PM Pub which we will go tonight closes on Labor Day night and the Landing closes October 1. Boom that’s it and the docks are pulled out of the water. School has started most places, and my great neice Abbey is starting her senior year of high school. Her grandma and mom are all teary eyed. !!!! Have a wonderful end of summer. God bless you.
