Been off the internet "grid" in a couple ways
lately – one way – Good! In another way...ugh...annoying. I'll get
the annoying part out of the way – we've been without internet
service for about 7 days this month...maybe more, don't know because we were also
gone on vacation a week this month too – a Good thing!
We spent a week up along the north
shore of Lake Superior, visiting old haunts and enjoying the
beautiful autumn colors. We built a small cabin on the shore of Lake
Superior nearly 35 years ago, enjoyed 18 summers and a few off
seasons there and loved it very much. But things change – usually
beyond our control, and we sold our small north shore paradise and
luckily found a new retreat on the prairie to call home year-round.
But it had been 16 years since last visiting NE Minnesota and it was
a good return visit.
Sometimes you really can't “go back”,
things change, situations evolve...you know what I mean. But even
though the weather was mostly gray and wet, it was a pleasant reunion
with the natural surroundings...I'll leave you with a small sampling
of our “Good” internet free week!

And now that we're back I had better get back to work - I've got a lot of unfinished business here...unfinished paintings and half formed ideas stuck in my head that need to be released before they disappear. But I feel renewed, like after visiting with old friends I haven't seen in a long, long while.
Now waiting for my internet service to be restored...if you see this you'll know I'm back...at least for a moment...
