Late Start
42 F Cloudy ESE wind @ 4 mph
Slept in some this morning for some reason. Didn't stay up that late last night, but sure felt good to sleep this morning. Margriet slept really late yesterday. She said that the house was so quiet. Usually she says she wakes up to the normal noises in the house as the day gets started. She forgot that the old furnace has not been running, the main noise in the house in the morning. I usually turned it on about 6:30 A.M. to have the house warm when she wakes up.
So we did go for fish last night at the Slovan Country Inn. Margriet had bluegills with broasted potatoes and I had the trout boil. A lot of food for the money and we came away very full, even though I didn't have seconds. Both of us had excellent meals for about $15.00 total. Not too sure how they manage to keep the prices as low as they do, but the trout boil would cost about $15.00 at most restaurants. A bluegill dinner would cost about $9-10.00 else where. It is one of those good old places which has been open for about 100 years I think. Still has the flavor of an old roadhouse too.
Margriet did manage to get all of the windows in the bedroom washed yesterday, then went on to clean the rest of the room too. A big job that she was doing most of the day. She was happy to hear me suggest we go out for fish last night. Don't know what she has on her agenda for today, but probably busy.
So I fired up the wood splitter yesterday afternoon and managed to get all of the blocks of firewood I had made. Even stacked it all too! One face cord done and two more to go. Then I can cut more trees down and start the process over again. I had to move a dozen or so concrete blocks stacked in front of the splitter, so had to move them to a more permanent storage place. I stacked them at the end of the wood pile and they now hold the wood pile up. Normally I would criss-cross the end pieces of firewood to keep the pile stable. Should get the rest of the firewood on the bunk cut and stacked today - before the rain comes.
Daylight in the swamp, so had better get going.
In Christ My Saviour,
