The annual cruise on lake Coeur d’Alene came off last night. Ourselves, Scott and Andrea, Tim and Cheryl, Patty and Ann and Ann’s husband Richard all took the dinner cruise out onto the lake, and a very good time was had by all, celebrating Jane’s successful hospital venture, my birthday, and the presence of good friends.<\/p>\n
To my own disgust, I had serious problems getting into and out of Patty’s truck and likewise with negotiating the stairs on the boat with my hands full—no accidents, but I am sitting here today with a heating pad on the knees.<\/p>\n
Patty, Ann, and Richard came over to pick us up and do the driving, since Patty doesn’t drink, which is a nice arrangement, and everybody made it well before departure, which is sometimes a squeaker because of the traffic on i-90. It rained early in the day. The evening was sweatshirt weather, and by full night, coming in to dock, a light coat was needful—the boats do catch a little wind. <\/p>\n
Part of the reason for the sore knees is yesterday spent getting the house super-tidy for visitors. Sweeping, mopping, and ferrying boxes to the garage, some of which were not light boxes—so we have this tough little garden wagon—metal mesh and steel, with 4 solid tires, that lets us get between the back door and the garage steps without killing ourselves. It’s tippy, with careful management, that’s several hundred pound loads we don’t have to physically carry the 40 or 50 feet to the garage.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I am sitting here heating my knees, but I was by golly, able to work hard and party hard, and I did make the boat stairs ok. Even if ouchy, so I can’t complain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
