On Tuesday I had a meeting with Pish, this retired professor from NMU that I met while hiking. She wanted a new storage bench for her hall, so I went out to her place. She has an amazing spot right on Lake Superior. We ended up talking for most of the afternoon, and I invited her over for dinner during the holidays. I got the job to build the bench - so it's great to have client number one lined up and a new friend in the area. Now I really need to finish the workshop!
Miss CJ, the girls teacher, has been sick this week, so the girls didn't have as much fun at school. We were going to have her over for dinner tonight, but that has been postponed to next weekend. Probably okay as things have been so busy! Yesterday we got Naomi's ski situation squared away. Ended up costing more than we were hoping to pay, but I think she will be really happy with this setup and therefore enjoy skiing and the Marquette winters a lot more.
On Wednesday I got to go out to our land with my dad and put in a new trail. It was a lot of fun. Almost have it finished. It's on the east side of the property, and I expected it to be kind of boring, but its really nice. Good to get to know the land a bit better.
On Friday my parents came up for lunch and dinner. Nice that the girls had something to look forward too instead of missing mommy. My dad and I got the leaning aspen off of the neighbor's shed with the help of neighbor Rick and his tractor. We also got the apple milled and luckily discovered an embedded nail before it hit the saw. Managed to finish up the driveway and sledding hill yesterday, so now I finally feel ready for snow. It will be a while before we get anything significant though. Still haven't been able to test out the snowblower. Last night we walked over to the Christmas Village just a few houses down. The guy spends months setting it all up. People from all over come to walk through his front yard.
