Auntie Claire came to visit us this week! We had lots of fun with her. On Wednesday she took the girls down to Escanaba with her and Naomi and I joined on Thursday. Picked up a fresh turkey from our friend's farm on the way down. My mom grilled it up and it was amazing. Had a wonderful tapas dinner.
On Friday we went down to Appleton and did a bit of shopping. New skis for the girls. Next size up. Got a few tools and some groceries. Even found some nice Belgian beer that Naomi loves. It was great to stay with the Sankey's for a couple nights.
The celebration on Saturday was a lot of fun. Not quite as many people as last year, but we got to watch Michigan beat Ohio State again together, and that was an unexpected surprise! Managed to make it out of Appleton at a decent time on Sunday morning after a great brunch.
Finished up installing a fan that turns on automatically when it detects warm air. It is pretty quiet and it brings the warm air from our wood stove to our bathroom where it gets too cold. Hopefully that will help with the condensation on the windows too.
Got a good chunk of the slabs milled into boards on Monday too. That is some physical work, but the slabs were free, and the boards should work well up on the ceiling. Hopefully I can get the rest, or nearly the rest, of the slabs milled up tomorrow. Fun to have an article published in the Marquette Monthly as well. The editor said they want more, so that's a nice compliment.
