Any Given Sunday

I've been meaning to say that the picture of the canoe at the top of the blog is at Uncle George's Cabin (Tyson's vocabulary teacher). He built a long boardwalk leading out to the lake and it is very pretty. That picture was taken with my cell phone. It's my favorite picture and was a complete accident that it turned out in the colors it did.

So anyway, this morning was a crisp 22 degrees and beautiful out. I didn't even need a hat. Everything was sparkling in the sunlight and the air smelled like woodstove. I didn't take a picture of it all since there is no way to capture that early morning feeling when all is quiet and the air smells so good. I was alone walking to work, taking it all in and had a moment of pure happiness and satisfaction.

Jenny and I worked from 9:00am to 9:45am. Slave drivers. Just one cabin to clean today, but we have a bunch of people coming in this week. Business is good! So far, I've broken 2 coffee pots and it takes twice as long as it should for me to clean since I have to feed Andie every little while. It's only a matter of time until my in-laws realize I'm costing them more money than I'm worth. I am still curling my hair and wearing lipstick to work, even though I'll only see Jenny most of the time and nobody cares in the least how I look. People who rent the cabins don't even use the shower half the time. It will be interesting to see how long it takes me to give up old habits. Stay tuned for this very riveting story--Vanity Watch 2012.

Our house is lacking in the storage department and we don't have half of our kitchen gadgets in here. We needed something better for the pots and pans. So the Ricks made this pegboard unit for them. That's how you do it at the Angle. No Home Depot around, so you use what you have. Big Rick has a nice big shop at his house that has all the fancy woodworking tools.

Tyson was there to supervise and make sure the measurements were correct.

One of my new duties is to iron the resort pillow cases. It's something I can do right at home. It's actually very relaxing.

The fruits of my labor!

While I did that, Andie was busy working on her rolling. Always to the left and sometimes, as you can see, she gets high centered and stuck on her face.

But she's oh-so happy to be rolled back over!

In spite of all the activity, the most exciting part of the day was Rick's grandma Norma losing her dentures in the heating vent at Big Rick and Pat's house. I can't explain how cause nobody knows!
