Madeline Island June 2019 - Day 5: And Another Full Day

Saturday, June 29, 2019

Long lazy morning. Coffee on the porch with Dale. Emma slept in late but woke up shortly before Dale left for work. 

Emma is training for a marathon. She took a 6 mile training run today. I headed into town on foot. 

In town I picked up a couple of blueberry muffins from Marie at Mission Hill Coffee. Delicious as always. I ate both of them in one sitting and then walked back to the cabin to sit on the porch. Emma returned from her run after a bit and said the heat really got to her. I could only imagine. I thought it was pretty scorching in the direct sunlight on my outing and I was only walking!

Dale and I took Emma out to eat at the Beach Club tonight. I had a couple of Old Fashioneds of course. They couldn't drink because they had to work a dinner concert over on the mainland. 

When they left after dinner for the the ferry I headed over to Grandpa Tony's for some ice cream and walked home with it. 

Once back I sat on the porch, read, and watched the beautiful sunset. When Dale and Emma returned we sat for a bit on the porch and watched the fireflies.

Madeline Island June 2019 - Day 4: Another Full Day

Friday, June 28, 2019

I'm falling into a routine. Coffee with Dale on the porch this morning and then a nice walk to town followed by a lunch at the Beach Club which consisted of two Old Fashioneds and a chef salad.

Emma is coming in tonight so I stopped by the store to get some wine and frozen pizzas. Needed to call Dale to confirm the kind of wine he wanted. The call went through but cut out and the phone showed there as being no service. OK, this island runs at a different pace and I can adapt to that culture but I don't want my phone to be on island time too!! LOL. I eventually got ahold of Dale but the phone service has been so bad this year. It all ended up working out just fine so I'll stop pissin' and moanin'.

Back home in time for a cigar on the porch in the afternoon. Emma arrived by 5 p.m. Dale made a pizza for all of us which we ate on the porch accompanied by some red wine.

We headed over to the club house shortly before with o'clock for the concert featuring the American String Quartet. It was a beautiful concert. The tree frogs outside even got in on the act.
