Well folks, did you wave bye bye to summer? We had two full nights of northern lights and today when we went to town you could see the first reds and purples on the trees and hints that we will be in full color in a short time. Both of these are sure signs up here that summer has packed it's bags and headed south with the tourists, sigh.

I really, really wanted to see the northern lights, but it was cloudy here all weekend! We don't see them very often here. I remember one time, many years ago, that they were spectacular! Reds, greens, blues... No, I hadn't had any brownies or anything to drink. It was the real thing!

So sit right tight and you'll hear a tale.... Of a fateful road trip. We took off from our northern town in a silver pick up truck.....
..... For a 3 hour road trip, a three hour road trip...


And oh yeah chicki....I didn't see any palm trees in Wisconsin either...... But I smelled many a skunk walking through at the crowd at the Kid Rock Concert.


Yeah go figure at a rock concert.....


So anyways... We left about 10:30 a.m. Friday for Crandon Wisconsin to go to a Kid Rock Concert and to watch the races all day.
Everything was just great except I wanted to leave at 9. But all went well till we were almost there and I turned around and asked my wife who was in the back seat.... Wait for it....."you did grab the tickets didn't you" ummmm I see her face I didn't even need her to answer me.
So we made arrangements for someone to bring the tickets as far as Escanaba . Okay so it made for a longer trip.... No harm no foul.
We get about 20 miles out my wife suddenly realizes she doesn't have her phone...... See while we stopped to get the tickets at a store we all went in and bought some road munchies. And my wife has to hold the baby that was the girls who met us....
In the process she set her phone on the roof of her car.... After several attempts my friend Dan gets someone to answer.... Great! Yay!!!
Hold on... Wait for it...... The guy on the other end tells us it was run over and the screen is black and shattered....( Galaxy S8)..... And he only got luck cuz he just kept pressing the black screen till it answers....
Other than that was an awesome night.....
My phone's fine

At least your phone is fine! Glad the rest of the trip was good.

Spash! Paddle, paddle, paddle... Brr! The water is feeling a bit brisk this evening. Just checking in before I go get ready to go back to school tomorrow. Looking forward to it, in a way. I have my one to one student in the morning (this will be our 8th year together), and will be helping in 6th grade with grammar and 5th grade with spelling in the afternoon. It should be fun. Hope everyone had a good long weekend!

That’s the #1 item on my bucket list... Possibly the only item on my bucket list.

Hard to see them in real life.... unless you go far north.

They make noise too.... if you are far north...

Yeah I was watching for the northern lights but didn't see them either.... Some times they are pretty bright here.
