Madeline Island June 2019 - Day 1: Winding Down the Day

Tuesday, June 25, 2019


Dinner at the Beach Club. I had a couple brandy Old Fashioneds and Dale had beer. I ordered the chili dog and Dale had the fish sandwich.


Stopped by the Island Store on the way home for just a few supplies. I picked up one of their famous brownies. 


Back at the cabin (very rustic, btw) we checked out the dock and then sat on the porch and talked for a while. 


The sunset was beautiful.

After dark we came inside and looked at lots of Dale's family photos that Brenda's been scanning and sending him lately.

Madeline Island June 2019 - Day 1: Arrival

Tuesday, June 25, 2019


Once on the island I drove to the center and met Dale. We were both joyous at seeing each other! We stopped by his new place briefly and then headed over to the Beach Club for dinner. 



And I love the porch at his new place.

Island 2018 - First Trip Third Day: Island Pride

Saturday, June 23, 2018

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 First Day: Walking and Eating

Thursday, June 21, 2018
So good to see Dale! We took Athena for a couple of nice walks and had dinner at the Beach Club.

I didn't think I'd see the lupines this year as my first trip up was delayed by some nasty storms. Dale says they're out a little later than usual so thankfully I didn't miss out. The lilacs were in bloom as well. One of the things I love about coming up here is that some of the things that are gone in Minneapolis are still in bloom up here like lilacs and irises. 



Dinner at the Beach Club with Dale. We each had a fish sandwich. To drink I ordered an Old Fashioned and Dale ordered wine. Dale told me this was his first time eating out on the Island this year!

Beautiful walk this morning with Athena. We headed toward Lori's store and I noticed this new mural on one of the buildings.

Of course it's always good to see the lupines. They'll be gone by the next time I'm up in July.

Madeline Island 2015: First Trip Day 3 - Lupines

Saturday, July 4, 2015

The lupines were a bit past their prime upon my arrival. I'm usually up in June and see them in their early splendor. This patch was still looking pretty good for July.
