Dinner at Big Blue Lake

Another beautiful sunny day. Ken's sister, Romaine, drove up from her home in Allendale (about an hour away). Ken's brother, Gordon, came from a wee bit closer--actually only a little over a mile away, from the cottage. By midafternoon it was breezy and pleasant enough that we were able to eat dinner outdoors. Since it was Sunday dinner (see, I still keep track of the days of the week!), we fixed Cornish game hen with long grain and wild rice and trimmings. Gordon provided the dessert, a yummy frozen concoction that his daughter Pam had brought Saturday. After dinner we went to sit by the lake and enjoy the view of all the boaters, water skiers, etc., including a colorful parasailer. Then we said goodbye to Gord and Romaine, since we'll be moving on in the morning.

Tomorrow is moving day, so we're making our usual preparations, and some extras. Ken is securing his new bike on the bike rack and covering it, and we're getting everything buttoned up outside in case it's raining in the morning. We have so far avoided having to break camp or set up in the rain I knock on wood every time I say that.
