Madeline 2021 - First Trip: Rain, Cocktails, and More! (Sunday)

Sunday, June, 27, 2021

Gloomy morning. Got a little rain but Dale and I squeaked in a walk before it started. We made it to Joni’s beach but then turned back when it started to sprinkle a bit. 

Stopped by Bell Street Gallery today. Turns out they’re for sale. Bought a coffee mug. 

Had a Zoom meeting with my brother Sam and his wife Becky and their 3 kids. It was fun to check in. 

After that Dale and I went to the Island Store to pick up some needed items. I found some pre-made cocktails and picked up the Mai Tai version. 

Dale and I sat on the porch when we got back from the store. I had a Mai Tai but he can’t drink since he’s on call. We were going to listen to some music but the landlord decided to mow the lawn. Oh well.

Since I had to miss Twin Cities Pride because of this trip I declared this weekend to be Island Pride. My pride avatar sured seemed to have a great time during it all...

Island 2018 - First Trip Second Day: Afternoon Shopping

Friday, June 22, 2018

After lunch I did a little more shopping. I stopped at the Bell Street Gallery and picked up the piece pictured above. I love the dragonflies.

I also tried on some sunglasses at the beach store around the corner. They didn't have a mirror for their outdoor display so I took a selfie to see what they looked like. I didn't buy them as I thought they looked a little too big.

Also stopped by the Island Store for a brownie...

...and this little guy. Just because.

Island 2016 - Second Trip Day 4: Birdie

Monday, July 11, 2016

The rain let up just before noon for just long enough to get Athena out and walk in to town to get some pictures.

Bell Street Gallery had a nesting bird in one of its pieces. I seem to remember there were two smaller ones last time.

Athena and I were both excited to see Dale. We all embarked on a walk so Athena could get the lay of the land with her sniffer. Photos are of some sights on the walk. Shortly after, Dale took me to dinner at The Pub. Had to satisfy my whitefish jones.

It's been a great weekend. The colors were beautiful, the trip was relaxing, the lodging was comfortable, and the company was great. Pictured is the new coffee mug I bought at Bell Street Gallery.
