That’s a Wrap

A few more pics of our last few days at the cabin. Such a special place for us.

Memory Lane

After the canoe trip to camping, I thought it was good to recall a memory of one of D-man’s first canoe trip. After Matt and the boys took off in the canoe, Marshall said, “Granddad would be proud.” I agree. 

Hobo Camping

A trip to the cabin is full of traditions every year, but we also try to find new things to do. This year, I had the idea to camp over at the boat in campground around the bend. Originally, I thought we would take the boys over via boat and pick them up in the morning. 

Matt took this a step further and suggested they canoe over and after dinner on Tuesday night, they headed out. According to Matt, they looked like hobos getting out of the canoe with Matt carrying his bed roll, the boys carrying their supplies in plastic grocery bags and water in a gallon jug. 

They were able to throw the frisbee around, take a late night swim and play some cribbage. They awoke to a thunderstorm so they hung out in the tents until around 10:00 until the storm passed. Definitely a memory made! 

And they are off!

WFCDA

Work from CDA.  Marshall got internet installed last week and we made it through this week. Hard to be working all day with a lake right outside your door, but fortunate to have time down at the lake every evening for a couple of hours. Looking forward to one last fun (and warm) lake day before we head home. 

My set up in the storage area. This desk worked great!

One special thing about the cabin is that we get to enjoy it with all of Marshall’s family. Michelle, Jim and Claire arrived Wednesday evening and departed Monday morning. We enjoyed many good meals, time on the dock and just all being together since we were all in Spain.

Celebration of Life

We were fortunate to all be here to make the trek to Pullman for Bob’s internment on Friday. It was nice to hear stories of Bob and feel the love for him during the ceremony. Here are a few pictures to capture the event. 

We then celebrated with lunch at Sella’s and ice cream at Ferdinand’s. I know Bob would have approved. 

Larry had a lovely tribute to his friend
