Ok….
First off brrrr….
I started my car this morning to drive into town from the cabin for internet service and it was -13. That’s a negative.
But – I am here…
and that’s a positive.
Last time I was at the cabin was the first weekend of November when we had a girls baking and crafting weekend here. I made it to the cabin yesterday around 3:00 pm…. got settled and watched a little tv. set up my paperwork, read a little…. and promptly fell asleep. 😯
Ok… so much for day one.
However today is a new day and I am excited to get started. I am in a little cafe in Silver Bay Minnesota. There is a table of 4 older men… and another table of a family. I am the only one with a laptop…. much as it has been any time that I have come in here for internet. Even the internet is mine… we have Verizon so I get internet wherever I have phone service.
There is a new sign in the cafe. It reads:
“No Work Boots Allowed In This Dining Room!”
If I ever do write that fictional story in my head – that line above has to go in it somewhere. 😛
Today when I go back to the cabin I will be writing the day away. I am ready.
Tomorrow morning I need to head back home early as it is our week serving the homeless and I have to help set up at noon. I plan to be on the road about 7 am.
But – I still have today. 😀
For my picture today for Alice’s Saturday Snapshot I leave you with this:
Ahhhh….. the North Shore. 😉
Book Journey 
Ha-ha…very funny stories. The one about the work boots, and then the photo with the Beaver Bay (LOL) sign and the Vehicle Noise Laws Enforced.
I can imagine all kind of stories about your life on the North Shore.
Here’s MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT
LOL – Yup. 😀
Have a wonderful writing day!
Thanks Karen 🙂
Have a nice retreat! Hope your Saturday is productive and restful.
Thanks Hannah 🙂
As for me, I’m just ready for it to be done snowing. :p
Must be so nice to get away. Although I would do it in the summer. I like to go for walks and be outside and -13 is … ummm… well… painful! Does the cabin have a nice cozy wood burning stove? I love those. Enjoy your escape from civilization.
I love Summer getaways – but winter is sooooo long in Minnesota – and if I want to write winter is the time to do it. 😛
And here I was whining because it was 37 when we got up today! That was quite a shock after the high of 70 yesterday.
I would love 37 degrees Kathy 😀
Sounds like you’ve been very busy – hope you get a little rest and writing time. Love the photo!
Thanks _ I am just about ready to head back tot eh cabin 🙂
Great photo! It sounds like the perfect quaint getaway!
Thanks Alyce 😀
Hope you are having a great time!
I did Ryan – home now… on to the next thing… but I did get quite a bit done and rested too. 🙂
Heh, great photo. Sounds like a place where one might get some peace and quite – great for reading and writing!
It was Trish – I wish I would have had more time but it was a good start 🙂
I’ve been through Beave Bay! Last summer with the Boy Scouts on our way to Boundary Waters. How cool is that? Especially when you see my post… http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/02/saturday-snapshot-february-26.html
I am popping over to see that Bev 😀
My road needs that noise sign. Hope you are getting lots of writing done.
LOL.. isn’t that funny Nise? For a population so low….
I love just getting away and your cabin sounds like the perfect getaway so i hope you enjoy.
I had a great lay in this morning and mooched around until i settled to read with a massive mug of tea and some choc biscuits!
Enjoy 😀
It is a great get away and we do not get there anywhere enough! I try but with an over 3 hour drive one way – it is a commitment. 😀
Wow that is most definitely a commitment! At least you got there and back safe – looking forward to a week packed with meanderings! 😀
Brrr…that is cold!! Sounds like you still managed to make it a positive day!! 😀
I did – there was no reason to go outside at all – so writing and reading it was 😀
Oh so cold and I have been complaining about temps just above freezing!
I am so sick of the cold 😀
Sounds like a fun trip! 🙂 Safe journey!
Thanks 😀
