Partial Payback

I have been getting a lot of help from Rick and Dominic. This week I was able to start paying them back. Went up to Rick's cabin on Monday to help him clear some things out. There was also an old ash floor up there that he wanted to get rid of, so I happily stacked it up in our garage. The staples are a bummer but the wood is good. He has a nice place up on the Dead River Basin. 

My mom came up on Tuesday to pick up the girls. They had a lot of fun together! Managed to be productive while they were gone and had a great dinner with Naomi celebrating the day we met 15 years ago. It was at the farmers market. Felt European. Eating on the street with no traffic. Surprisingly delicious food from a sports bar. On Thursday went down to my parents to hang out, spend time with my Dad's cousin, and play a little golf. On Friday we spent the day at the farm and I helped Dominic build a new chicken coop. They are up to 73 chickens now! 

Yesterday we got some errands wrapped up along with a few presents. Birthday coming soon. Also had a chance to see Miss CJ at the coffee shop where she works in Ishpeming. Amélie happened to see her best friend at the roadside veggie stand on the way back. Fireworks. For dinner we were invited to the neighbors for some authentic Indian food. It was delicious. We had a bit of fall weather these last couple days, but the sun is coming out again and the temperatures are rising. Hopefully more beach dinners this week! 

Great dinner. 

Maybe a new woodworking project from a client.

Rick's hulking cabin that needs tearing down.

Right below the cabin is Willow Creek, emptying into the Dead River Basin.
