Week ramblings

It was a fast week. Lots of late nights but not as much to show for it. Anyway, here are some random memories from our 4th week here.

The summer is in full swing up here. The nights are not as cool, the sun shines til almost 10pm, but most importantly the cabins are on a weekly rotation. Saturdays and Sundays (which have been our ‘Mondays/Tuesdays’ of our work week) have meant lots of cabin cleaning and left over goodies finding.

We’ve also been trying to get out more, like our trip to the palisades. So after that trip we grabbed the kayaks the next night and hit the lake again. This time Kirsten was followed by a loony loon. It kept within 20 feet of her as we paddled around Clearwater’s inlets.

We also continued our outdoor games competitions with more badminton. Rumor has it that we will be playing a summer long game to 101 sets. Winner will receive his/her choice of can-o-beans.

Our boss Mike left for Ohio to do some real world work and visit his newest grandson for the first time. So we’ve been working without our fearless leader for a bit now. On Tuesday Kirsten and I were the only ones working so I got a chance to get out of the food room and down to the waterfront. A bit of a mistake, but all of our paddles are now color coded and organized. What can I say, OCD is in my blood.

Kirsten and I finally hit the closest restaurant to the lodge: Trail Center. It’s owned by the sister of the owner of My Sister’s place and the menus and buildings are very similar. Rumor has it that it’s the best food on the trail. At least stuff that isn’t dehydrated.

Like I said, it was a fast week but I’m not sure where the time went. Well look for some more postings after Kirsten’s parents visit. And enjoy my personal favorite eating holiday (the 4th).
