It was a long week...the weather was spectacular on Monday and Tuesday, so it was incredibly difficult to sit inside knowing that near perfect weather was hanging out on the other side of my (poorly insulated) office window. At least we got some nice long walks in those evenings. I started teaching Tech Reporting Thursday night. Believe me, a three hour long class feels just as long for the instructor as for the students. But it went well and I'm looking forward to this coming week. Mike's injury of the week: He may have broken his thumb on Saturday trying to crack the gigantic (locked) safe in his studio (the old Mason's lodge). He got the safe open, but smashed his thumb with a hammer in the process. It is now black and blue and about twice it's normal size. He declined my offer to drive him to the ER.
We hadn't planned to do much of anything this weekend, since it was supposed to be rainy and cold. Lying meteorologists! As it was still beautiful late on Saturday afternoon we decided to head up to Mike's parent's cabin in Avoca on the Wisconsin River. We went canoeing this afternoon...the pups are delightfully well behaved in the canoe. We "docked" a bit up river and got out and wandered around the marshes. We discovered a dirt road that led to a DNR trail and took a really beautiful walk in an area that felt completely isolated from civilization. Just us, many ducks, and one chilly looking frog. We're both looking forward to going back prepared - with a picnic lunch and lots of time. So, here are the weekly shots of the dogs running around outside (oh, and one of me):
