Not only is the internet connection here in the north woods practically non-existent or incredibly SLOW but sometimes these conditions go on for days. Which is okay for the most part as everyone I know realizes where I am and the conditions for posting or emailing or texting or anything technology related are practically impossible. The closer we are to a weekend or a holiday...the less connectivity is possible. Due to the number of people online.
I might note that after I finished this sketch of the pier and deck building, we had 3 beautiful days of weather. Right through the 4th of July. So the umbrella went and we spend HOURS down there sunning like turtles and having wine and cheese and watching the kids swim and jump off the pier.
We have squeezed so much into those 3 days that Greg is now on a heating pad taking a nap! And feeding 10 people 3 meals a day gets to be awe inspiring (but with all the help it is fun). Last night we did an old fashioned grill out and then went to the local fireworks. Meaning no one got to bed until 11. Boy we were dragging this morning as it rained lightly.
Among all the festive things, the two older grandsons and my son helped Greg install the last large window on the glassed in porch.
We were missing one window and the one we chose was HUGE and heavy. WHAT were we thinking? Anyway it did get installed and now THAT is done except for trim and painting which can come later. Photos of this later.
Company will stay through Thursday dinner and then 5 will leave and 3 will stay on until Sunday.
