How does time go by so fast…

…when you’re trying to do nothing at all. Carol and I have reached the half way point of our vacation and try as I might I can’t seem to slow time down. I do boring things like staring at the lake – reading – making coffee – staring at the lake – preparing breakfast, grilling lunch and suppers – walking - staring at the lake and before I know it another day has passed.

We livened things up today by driving to Caribou to pick up a couple of things. We parked at the grocery store and walked from there to a shopping plaza over a quarter mile away where Carol wanted to pick up some yarn for her Swedish weaving project. On the way we passed a small building with an interesting sign…

Just what most of the world needs, “Redemption” and a walk up window to get it. I wondered if we could get a side of “Salvation” also. Yeah, so it was actually a place to bring your returnable bottles for deposit refunds but maybe someone should try that approach and see how it goes.

Anyway, after Carol’s purchase we headed back to the grocery store. Our little trek earned us some steps toward our daily goal of 10,000. We picked up a few items at the store then made our way back to the camp. Its been a cool and cloudy day. After lunch I read and worked on the previous blog then Carol and I went on another walk to fill out the day’s goal. Margaret arrived for supper and we had grilled pork, potatoes and corn on the cob. There wasn’t much hope for a sunset of note but I took a picture anyway.

Shortly afterwards I notice on my pedometer I hadn’t quite reached 10,000 so I left to take a quick walk toward the nearby roadway and as I turned around I saw red in the sky and realized that a sunset was happening. With that I hurried back to the camp, grabbed my camera and headed to the shore where I snapped this sunset for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
