AUGUST 10, 2025

It is Sunday. We arrived home late afternoon from John and Jenn’s place in Eagle River. We had a lovely, relaxing time. Denise and Randy arrived early evening Tuesday. Wednesday Mickey took us out to dinner at Roswell’s, the restaurant at Shorehaven. It was a beautiful evening. I’m happy Jack decided to join us.

We left Thursday morning for Eagle River, and Dan and I stayed until this morning. We had good weather on Friday, so Dan, John and I walked about 9 miles. Dan and I prepared a fish fry for dinner that evening.

Saturday was not so great; it rained all day, but we all found something to content ourselves. Then Denise, Randy and I prepared dinner: chicken thighs with 30 cloves of garlic, mashed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, broccoli, and carrot cake to celebrate John and Jenn’s 9th wedding anniversary.

There were reports of heavy rain at home as well yesterday (Saturday). My neighbor sent us these photos of the Scuppernong Creek, which was barely a trickle in the spring. A friend said they recorded 10.9 inches in Pewaukee. I just checked Delafield, and it was 6.64. It’s raining right now again, and there are thunderstorm warnings.

John, Denise and Randy took Mickey for a little outing today in Eagle River, just to get out of the house, I guess.

I have to admit I never thought I’d see the day that Mickey would be spending time at the cabin. She’s doing so well. Have chair will travel. John packed her recliner in the back of the van (which Dan recently was gifted from a grateful neighbor), and they were off! She spends most of the day in her chair, watching movies, and sleeps in the chair as well. She brought her wheelchair, but she gets around quite well with her walker, using the bathroom and walking around in the house.

Okay, that’s it for tonight.
