Day 29/35

Wow, the weekend just flew by! We had a great time. We did SO much! Poor little Lilah broke her elbow so the Boeschs never made it up. Mom and Dad were a great help. We got a lot done. George and I went for a canoe ride. The water was gorgeous and we found some fabulous swimming holes. 10 degrees hotter and we would have jumped in.
We were sitting on the beach and two baby raccoons came waddling down towards us. George was brave enough to take pictures and even video footage (to be aired soon!). I was scared to death of the mother coming out of nowhere to protect her babies but we never did see her.
Mom and I painted the front doors. They look so much better. Wish we could have worked on the second story window boxes but the mourning dove was still incubating her eggs.

We bought a boat! An itty bitty non functioning sailboat that is. It does have a rutter but no sail. We are still debating about what to do with it... It was just too cute to pass up.
George laid a lot of wood chips over the rocky shore to make a more stable footpath.
The ferries were packed this weekend being Memorial Day weekend and for most, the first weekend back up since last season. As I stood on the upper deck, I looked down and saw someones new bed making the trip over. One big wave and that bed woulda gone overboard.

The coffee shop on the island. We love going there. They had a big garage sale with awesome stuff. We bought a print and the sailboat. Dad especially loves coming here, there's a cute little bookstore right next door. Thanks Dad for the book on Door County wildflowers!

The Twice Around shop reopened this weekend. It's just down the road from the coffee shop. Mom and I had good luck there but my new lime green cruiser with basket and white leather seat was the steal of the day for only $3! George and Dad decided to build a very rustic boardwalk using some cedar trees and planks. Worked out great and makes it much easier to get in and out of the water.
The last section is actually in the water and it got moved with the water moving in and out. We all tried to straighten it back out with no luck, might just have to be a little crooked...
What a great weekend, great weather, and great company. Thanks again Mom and Dad for everything! We are back at home now with about 6 days minimum to wait for any news. I will post any rumors I hear. Our agency has a way of knowing if any packages are heading towards their way so those are the rumors I'm looking for now. We just can't stop thinking of this little one and wondering who she is. Please stay tuned.
