With apologies to my readers back home, I’m going to post a bunch of pictures of people you don’t know! This is because today there was a potluck of staff and seasonals and included was a retirement party for a man who hasn’t worked here most of the summer. He had camped and worked here for many years and started the summer with us, but for various reasons he had to retire before the summer even started. Many people here love Fritz so this was his official send-off. Several of those people will be reading this blog, so this one’s for them! (Those of you back home are welcome to read it too, though!) And without further ado, here are the pictures: Continue reading

Shopping helps the medicine go down!
I’m finally catching up on blogging about our weekend, Tuesday and Wednesday. We went shopping! Continue reading
We’re not the only ones who work around here!
I thought I should tell a little bit about what the others do around here since the season is winding down. Actually it isn’t going to feel much like it’s winding down this weekend because we have sixty three campers checking in for Labor Day weekend today. Continue reading
An extreme weekend
I was so extremely busy over the 4th of July weekend that there was no time to write. For one thing, Mark had an eye appointment in Greenbay on Thursday so that took the better part of the day (it’s a four hour drive round trip). We had a lot of campers over the holiday weekend so things were busy on the job. Also, every chance I had to get on my laptop I was working on the report for Mark’s second mock inspection. But there were also some fun activities and I got pictures. Continue reading
Touring Door County: Bailey’s Harbor
I’ve been down with a cold for several days so although we did some sight seeing yesterday after church, it’s taken me a while to prepare this post. Continue reading
The best laid plans…
Today was to have been our touring day and we loaded our bicycles on the back of the truck, but we never got “a round tuit”. We did, however, take pictures of various stops we made on our way to and from the VA in Green Bay. Here are today’s pictures… Continue reading
A day apart and coming together again
Mark spent the entire day on his Harley, going to Green Bay to get new tires and then stopping at the Wisconsin Motorcycle Memorial. When he returned it was dinner time so we went out to Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant & Butik in Sister Bay. Here are images from today: Continue reading
Catch up
Things have been a bit of a whirlwind this last few days, as you might suspect, so I have some leftover stories to tell… Continue reading
Grocery stores
This is just a quicky about grocery stores. I had mentioned that the Pioneer Store is probably the closest to us, but it’s not big enough to have all the things we need so we never go there. We’ve been going to Piggly Wiggly. I hadn’t been in one of those since I was growing up in Vancouver, WA. That and Shopko (which is more a department store than a grocery store) have been our stores in Sister Bay since we’ve been here. When we’re down in Sturgeon Bay we go to Walmart. Continue reading
Potluck
Today Tim and Kathy told us to just do a glorified walk-through of the bathrooms (what some would call “a lick and a promise”) so that we could participate in the annual potluck. This is when as many of the staff and the seasonals as are here get together for a party. Continue reading
