A Fabulous Fall

We have been having ideal fall weather. Last week, we drove around "The Island" and were checked out at departure by this deer.

My Saturdays have been filled with Scouting (See UP Scouting link). Above is a picture of Buddy at Camp Hiawatha's Bunting Lake.

During our Island" visit, we stopped at the playground. Ben was hesitant on the slide:

Sunday afternoon, I took an absolutely fantastic hike in the Harlow Lake/Wetmore Landing/Little Presque Isle area. Unfortunately, I didn't take the camera, so the images are only recorded in my mind.

Hudson is doing well. I see him nearly every morning when I pick up Andrew's dog Buster for his walk with Buddy and me.

Our office has always closed for Columbus Day, but this is the first year that I did not go in and work anyway. I had a great day. Ben, Susan, and I went to the library for the children's story hour in the morning while Anna was at kindergarden. I went to Rotary for lunch. In the afternoon, Susan, Anna, and I did some errands, went shopping for Polly Pockets, and had a treat at Culvers. I linked up with Al and we met a guy who purchased his car. With Angela here and Marquette's strict winter parking requirements, we did not have room for him to park through the winter. And again, with Angela here, it was really more cares than we need. Then Al, his friend Jacob Blotter and I went to Applebees for supper. A great day...preparing for how to be retired in a year and 4 months.
