July Highlights

I'm falling behind updating this blog.  Having such a good time that I don't want to sit at the computer.  Oh well.  Here are some of the things we did this past month.
Highway construction is marching along. This is our new exit coming from Huntsville. Wayne and I giggle every time we pass by. I took pictures of the business section - all two of them.

Corner Store

Marina and Post Office

I forgot to take a picture of the chip stand. That's it for our little town of Katrine.

Tiger Lilies blooming in my garden.

Our major project for this summer!  We are sorting old photos - scanning and saving them to an SD card.  I've set up a little area in the gazebo that can be used  as a computer area.  Don't want to be stuck inside.

We decided to go on a field trip around the Lake of Bays. First stop Dwight, then Dorset, Baysville and finally returning to Huntsville. Along the way we stopped at a great bakery in Dwight and a dockside lunch in Dorset.

Robinson's General Store.  Imagine boating to the grocery store.

Garrett(one of my daycare kids) and Chris came for a visit. We had lunch and went for a boat ride on the Magnetewan River. What a great day!

Garrett piloting the boat.

It's a goose blockade.

They were stretched across the river.  Didn't move until the last second.  Silly geese.

We have taken several boat tours around the lake. Love looking at the cottages and scenery.

Saturday was the Baysville Walkabout. Main Street was closed to vehicles. Over 125 vendors were set up with food, music, face painting and displays by the fire department. Gail and Andy joined us to enjoy this event. It was very hot but lots of fun.

Wayne's Weenies

To finish off our day, Wayne and I went to a community supper. The meal was homemade lasagna, salad, rolls and homebaked lemon tarts. Yummy!
