Crazy Couple of Weeks!!!

The last two weeks have been absolutely crazy busy. With everything from visiting past employees and parents, the Blacksmith Convention, Talent/No Talent Show, Pub Runners weekend, crafty "overnight," Staff Recognition night, Peggy's birthday, Jeff Daniels at the Grand, etc.... it all was quite fun and quite busy. Now it's back to hunting for a job, getting ready to close the downtown historic houses, and gear up for post season. It's amazing how quickly it's all gone by!

Anyway, here are some photos from the hectic period....

(photos: The fort in the evening from the "secret" entrance... how lovely; Jenny, Lyle (how he makes them blush...), and Maria; me and Dave, another of my favorite blacksmiths; the Island in the evening near Ste. Anne's; and John's last square dance (please note Fr. Rey in the background!).)






(photos: Lily, Katie, and Peggy: the 8's - those with bdays on the 8th of a month; moon rising over Round Island; Peggy as a Leo (horoscope-wise) on her birthday; Trace, Phil, Lee, and Dave at a jazzy-winey; and Carolyn - how we miss her now that she's moved to flippin' New York.)






(photos: The Island at twilight; Main Street at night; Katie and Jeff Daniels; Lee, Katie, Peggy, and Heather in front of a cool photo of the fort at the Grand after dinner and Jeff Daniels; and Leslie (the sister) at the pictographs at Lake Superior Provincial Park.)






(photos: Dad, Mom, and Leslie doing the face in Canada; Leslie, Dad, and me in Canada; the family at Chippewa Falls, Canada; Maria working hard during a dance demonstration at the fort; and Carolyn after working too hard at the Biddle House.)
