June 25, 2012 -- At Leech Lake

This morning at 7:00 a.m. the sun was shining, the wind was relatively calm at 5-8 mph out of the SSE and the temperature was 62 degrees. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day at Leech Lake.

Kathleen and the kids had some errands to run in Bemidji today, so around 11:15 a.m. they got in the truck and drove into town. I stayed at the lake did a variety of chores -- laundry, cleaning up at the cabin, prepping for our dinner later today, etc.

My parents were expected here sometime mid-afternoon and we want the cabin to be clean for their arrival. So I cleaned up the cabin and made sure things were in order. In the mail today, the part for me to fix the Anderson Window crank arrived, so I also spent a little time repairing the window.

I thought about going out to do a little fishing, but I didn't want to be on the water when my parents arrived.

At 3:30 p.m. my Mom and Dad drove up. We had a great time catching up and talking until Kathleen and the kids got home at 5:30 p.m. We then made dinner, ate and had a very nice time talking and enjoying grandma and grandpa's company.

We stayed up until roughly midnight and then all went to bed. It was another nice day at Leech Lake, even if I didn't have a chance to get out fishing.
