Memorial Day 2010
We had just a great weekend. The weather was great, the fishing was fun, and the company was outstanding. We spent the weekend with Dick and Carol in Hayward the area. Our chance to take the trailer for a ride and spend the weekend in the small park where they keep their trailer. I think there are only 7 trailers there, all full time parked. All close to the water with plenty of space. And Ann, the 91 year old owner lets us pull into an open spot only otherwise used by her daughter’s RV.
Dick had the boat out and had done some ‘scouting’ fishing. The first couple of days we fished on another nearby lake where he had found some crappies. We used to do very well on Crappies on Sand Lake where they are, but not the last couple of years. Dick’s thought is they have been over fished through the ice. So we had lot’s of fun on the other lake, brought home some crappies and caught lots of rock bass and small mouth bass. And Monday we did fish Sand Lake and caught some perch and walleye. The size limit on the walleye is 18″ though and we had no keepers. Although we had a bunch that would have been perfect eaters!
And we cooked out, and we went out. Lot’s of great establishments to visit up there. So we had some cocktails and good meals out, and even managed to fit in a brewpub. A little rain Sunday night was late enough to not bother us, and they needed some rain. So life was good, and the 5 hour drive went well, truck and trailer performing well. We came home late Tuesday afternoon, and Enders joined us here on their way back from their Door County volunteer month. So we fit in a pontoon ride and some cocktails before I had to head back to work this morning. That was not much fun, but we have to pay for this somehow! And the rain held off until today, and we needed it. So that will help what is in the garden. The problem is that it will still be too wet to plant tomato’s and seeds. So we will see when I get around to that! I paiinted the other side of the downstairs bedroom doors. So one more coat and that project will be finished. The walls and molding in the hallway are done.
So we hope all had as good a weekend as we did!
