I got up earlier than everyone else and went outside to read and write a little. I let out Greg and Julie's dog, Ellie, so she could do her business and threw some tennis balls for her to chase.

Soon Charlie, the next door neighbor, brought down his ATV to push Grandma June's dock out, but then his chicken burned so had to leave to go deal with that. Junel cooked us all a tasty brunch and after Julie did dishes, we finished getting the dock out. Greg, Julie, Junel, and I went out on their boat again to soak up some sun. Nobody felt like wakeboarding and I was still kind of sore from yesterday, so we were satisfied to swim, have a few beers, and chat some more.

We got back to the cabin and visited some more as Greg and Julie got packed to go back to the Cities. We were still full from brunch, so we decided to wait to eat until later. After they left, we kicked back and read for a while. Grandma June is working on covering 5 dozen hangers with yarn. I dozed off for a while.

Around 7:00 Junel made some brats, beans, and chicken salad leftovers. We had a little Lambrusco with that which I hadn't had in years. I did the dishes and then Junel and I played some double Solitaire and Triple Yahtzee. She won both. It's been very relaxing here and it was cool that Greg and Julie were able to visit and that I got to know them a little better. I forgot to mention that I had taken some pictures earlier of the cabin and the lake.

It's quite pretty here as you can see. That's about all for now.
