Sadly, this is our last morning here. Everyone is walking around with a twinge of sadness on their faces. Part of it is that we have to spend part of this morning cleaning up but mostly they know that our short summer vacation is nearly over.
We hit the Chinese take out last night after a little shopping (aloe was needed for the son’s lobster legs due to too much kayaking). It was not a good as I remember it. We brought it back to the late house and watched season 9 episode 20 of Little House on the Prairie. It was laugh out loud funny as Mr. Edwards meets a man on the road who ends up dying but not before he gets Mr. Edwards to promise to take care of Blanch (who turns out to be an orangutan). Chaos ensues as Blanches hijinks cause and uproar in Walnut Grove (including some funny scenes with Blanch and Mrs. Olsen). After the kids went to bed, the wife and I watched Unstoppable which was pretty good although a good 1/3 of the movie had to be stock footage of random trains going down the track.
The wife and I are ready to return home to our own bed. She misses the dogs too I imagine though Pepper (the dog from the next lake house) visits us often, including this morning during coffee.
This place is very welcoming as this small sign says that is hanging in the kitchen.
We are looking forward to returning next year if possible. Thanks to my friend for lending us his lake house for the week. Your “standard rental payment” is waiting for your on the kitchen counter.
