On Tuesday, left Grandma and Grandpa Cera’s at 8:30am with my Aunt. Corn was plentiful during the drive. When my Aunt would take us up to the thumb as a kid, we would always have smoked whitefish as a pre-dinner appetizer, so before arriving at the cottage we stopped at the authentic Bayport Fish Market to pick up a hunk along with more whitefish for dinner. I should have bought more.
My Aunt has done a lot to make the place her own since I was last here years ago. At noon we had lunch mediterranean style (olives, cheese, bread, meat and uh, beer). Killed the afternoon walking the beach and I even had a chance to jet-ski (woot) when one of the neighbors offered me their key. It was out of gas in 20 minutes and the water was flat, but that was just about all the time I needed. The lake was warm and temps in the mid 70′s . . . basically perfect. I’ve now hit 3 Great Lakes in just a couple weeks – Erie (sailing), Michigan (Spring Lake), and Huron today.
Double whitefish (smoked and grilled) with salad and rice-a-roni was our simple dinner out on the screened porch, then Bailey’s on the beach deck for sunset. As darkness set in, we played pouce, a group solitaire game that I’ve always played with my Aunt. Cynthia complained that she didn’t know how to play and was confused, but she ended up beating me so I had little sympathy.
I took a couple naps on Tuesday (once on the drive and once after the beach), but I still managed to sleep till 9:30 on Wednesday morning. The trend of laziness comtinued, as we just hung out on the porch basically (I did fix a hole in the side door weatherstrip). Now, it’s time to clean things off to head back to the D for the Tiger game.
