Summer vacation is BUSY!

So, my summer is going great, but these past few weeks have been busy. I went to Black River Falls on Saturday for my Sons of Norway picnic. I'm the youngest member in my lodge by about 35 years. The other members are so cute! :) Anyway, we had a great potluck, and then we played bingo for stupid prizes. It was a nice afternoon, and my mom and I got to spend some time with Lillian, too. Then I headed to EC to pick up Thor.

Except that my friend Gail called and invited me to her cabin in Elcho. I haven't been there in about 3 years, so I thought it sounded fun. So, I stayed in EC til Monday (no use driving back down to Viroqua to turn around and go north) and headed over. It is about 2:45 to get there, and Monday was a great day for a drive.

I stayed at the cabin til Thursday. We had a good time -- we played cribbage, went fishing, went mopeding, had a campfire, and generally just relaxed. This year, I won big in cribbage -- usually Gail only plays til she loses, and then we have to be done. But this year, she was a better sport, even though I beat her 13 games to 3, including two skunks! Ha ha! I also caught more fish than her: my 4 to her 2. I caught 4 northerns, ranging from 15-24 inches. I was just happy to catch anything! We don't keep them, anyway.

Yesterday I drove back to EC to get the cat. My mom said, "why don't you just leave him here til you come back this weekend?" So, I came home empty handed. And I have one day to not really go anywhere, before I head up to EC Saturday. BUSY, but having fun.
