Today's blog is for Tuesday, November 2, 2010.
Before I was even awake, but fully dressed, John and I left for the Town Hall. I dropped off the two pies and cookies I made yesterday for the library's bake sale. Then we voted. Everyone should vote and at least pay attention to the voting going on. Otherwise, in my opinion, you don't have a right to complain about our government or taxes or anything about our state, etc.
Then we got back home, I ate breakfast and checked my Facebook and e-mails. John and I did some paperwork and then we loaded up the minivan with our kayak and our dog. We headed out to Owl Lake where we saw a beaver house (picture) and an eagle in a tree above a campsite (picture). The lake doesn't have any houses on the north side, which is pretty awesome. We saw an otter swim in front of us and climb up a bank but none of my pictures turned out of it. They'll just have to be memory shots. The sun was shining and was very warm. It was a beautiful day for a kayak outing before we would put them away for the winter.
John did most of the paddling and I was just a lazy observer as I sat in the sun and looked at the beautiful scenery. I did paddle a couple of times, though, just to say I did. Senna, our golden retriever, was between John's knees and lying down with her head hanging over the side of the boat. She is so cute. She saw the otter too and her ears perked up when she saw it.
After awhile we headed back home. I cleaned the last half of the Spruce cabin. It didn't take me long but I had been putting it off for days. I cleaned the bathroom, did the windows and dusted and then finally vacuumed. I had a difficult time opening the back of our minivan again to put the cleaning stuff into it, but that's the last time I will be using the van.
I drove the van down to the basement, unloaded all the cleaning supplies and then cleaned out the minivan of everything. I found John's long, lost camera in the glove compartment where he supposedly looked for it several times. Men! Then I drove the minivan over to our Ironwood cabin, which Dave was staying in. John and I had loaded it up with two kayaks first so that when Dave got back from work, he and John could take the kayaks and store them in the basement of Ironwood. We put a Bilco door or cellar door on the side of Ironwood just so we could store our kayaks down there.
I went into the house, did some laundry again, and then took a much needed shower. Afterwards I rested, watched a movie, ate cereal for dinner and read my book. I had made a huge lunch for us earlier, so neither John nor I cared for anything much for dinner.
John came in from his work and said that he and Dave and Steve, Dave's friend/relative, had unloaded all the kayaks and put them all in the basement. Then they put away the boats, loaded all the life jackets in the shed and finished with all the work to winterize the resort. This is a great load off of John's mind.
It was a good day.
