SUN-last day
sunny day again. checked out of super 8. got down to my space. by the way, just for extra torture, on one side i had a potter who had come by and chatted with keith in 05', and on the other side 'mr. grumpy' from arkansas. a quite tall skinny man. maybe he was having a bad show. anyways, i forgot something.on saterday an loder couple came by and said they wanted the original rabbit. but, after looking in his wallet, said had to go back to car and get checkbook. NO PROBLEM, i gotta spruce it up, some sky pastel had fallen onto the rabbit and i wanted to spruce it up. they never came back, but did put a small sold sticker on it. around noonish or so, a woman came by and SHE wanted the rabbit. i said, well, sure! and it is gonna go in her daughters room. she also got the cheap framed hippo and giraffe! did i mention the fur catnip toys i made? a woman was sent by her sister to get another one with vague directions.
take down was pretty quick. trying to get back to meet my uncle and aunt for dindin. had a issue with the tent. my MOM backed into it with the car 2 years ago and it has been a BITCH ever since. my grumpy helped. so we liked him after all.
the drive back was very nice. only a short wrong turn. NORTH??? wrong way. check map! the U.P. is quite empty. got gas next to the casino. reservation gas tax freeeee! k said the patrons in the gas station were quite sad gambler types. we had called my aunt and she said stuff closes early, and so we said we would eat before the cottage. it was close to nine when we left the gas station, so the next town would have to be our options. we spotted the redman supper club, so i made a quick turn off. it was open and we had discussed supper clubs. thanks NPR. the redman was quite nice. big salads. choice of soup(BLT) or cranberry juice. i had pork again. k had chicken ala oscar. before long we were back at the lake and carla had made a bundt cake. jeff had gone to sleep(morning person), but we had a nice dessert and talk. took k to super 8 and came back. oh, i forgot the mention the eagle feather that fell as we were on the beach-good omen. i forgot it up north. will have to get it in fall.
