Lots of things have happened in the last week or so. We had Dan & Deb visit us (Cap'n Dan & Butterfly Lady, f/k/a Tweet) for a week to not only pick up their goodies, but to spend some time relaxing and not worrying about their motorhome's roof rebuild. We had a lovely visit (I'm sure Dan & Deb were bored more times than not, as we still had work to do at the store, and geez, we DO live in the middle of nowhere! Course, I'm hoping that the peace and quiet (at least while the kids were in school), helped them to relax a bit and enjoy their time up here in North Central Wisconsin.
Dan and Deb left on the 10th, and I had to immediately get started on packing the 5er for the 2007 Wisconsin Fall Rally at Indian Trails Campground in Pardeeville, Wisconsin (near Portage). I was leaving on Thursday with Aaron and Abigail and Greg was coming down on Friday after the Homecoming game with Erica. This was the very first time I drove the 5er without another adult present. I was a touch nervous, to be sure. As it turned out, the ride was quite uneventful. I'm so used to driving the 5er anyway that it wasn't as big a deal as I thought. Of course, the weather was good and little wind, so that helped. When I pulled around the corner to our campsite, I found that our friends had everything all set for us! Here's a pic of the traffic cones they had set out to outline our site!
The two traffic cones that appear in the middle of the site are blocking the fire pit! As usual, with our Wisconsin rallies, I managed to figure out a way to pull into the site, rather than back into it! This makes about the 10th WI rally that we've managed to figure out a way to pull in, rather than back in! It's too funny! I've even managed to back OUT of our site every time as well!
At this particular rally, it worked out quite nice, because pulling into the site meant that our awning was facing the communal fire pit, along with the two other folks lining the fire pit. It was nice to not only not have to walk around the 5er to get to the fire, but to be able to keep an eye on whatever was going on outside our door (like cooking, etc.).
Greg had to stay behind on Thursday because the Abbotsford Homecoming was on Friday and Erica was part of the flag brigade that performed with the high school band at halftime. She didn't want to miss the show OR the rally, so we did the best we could to ensure that she was able to take part in both.
Since we've been home, things have been hectic. I've had a lot to do at the store, and of course, with the holidays coming, there's even more to do. I'm working on getting more gift baskets ready and creating new ones as well.
That's about all from the Mik Household these days! A Day in the Life . . . not really too interesting, but it is what it is! :D
