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.

Island 2017 - 2nd Trip Day 2: Pub and Concert

Saturday, July 1, 2017

For dinner Charlie and Fran took us to The Pub. A good time was had by all. After dinner we saw the performance of a string ensemble call The Shanghai Quartet put on by Madeline Island Chamber Music. Their venue is a building called The Clubhouse which used to be a restaurant of the same name owned by Mary Rice who donated the building to Madeline Island Music Camp (now Madeline Island Chamber Music).

Madeline Island 2015: First Trip Day 3 - 4th of July Parade: MIMC

 Saturday, July 4, 2015
When the Music Camp's float went by (the sign carriers preceded the violins) the woman standing in front of me as I watched the parade cupped her hands to her mouth and kept screaming "Sing, sing!" She finally shut up when she saw the kids playing violin on the hay bales.
