I went into the cabin around 7am and Nana and Grandpa were eating breakfast on the porch, Scott was still asleep. He had stayed up late reading since I wasn't there to yell at him to turn off the lights. My neck was down to bearable pain. After our Bible study, I made chili for Tuesday and my lunch and Nana fixed fish for everyone else. After an early lunch, somehow we all ended up taking naps again. After the nap we decided to try kayaking. Nana and Grandpa took the double and I took mine. The pain was pretty tolerable so we went around the island. We saw an eagle, a golden-eye with about five babies, a merganser with nine babies, a loon, and deer tracks on the beach. There is at least one baby there because the beach was plastered with tiny tracks.
When we got back we checked out McCarty's (Jeff's) boathouse to see what work Ron Don had done. It was looking better. We looked back and saw Scott was behind us. I paddled back out to see him. Nana decided we should take care of the surprise in the garage so we took the float boat out to Paradise Island. Grandpa was sad we didn't take our poles so we headed back to make quick sandwiches and get our poles. We took it out to Three Towers where Nana caught a perch almost immediately. I spotted a deer on the island and took some pictures. Instead of fishing I was the support team. I spent most of my time fixing Nana's rod, but I also took her perch off the hook for her, fed everyone and even took care of the anchor. It was starting to look a little dark and we heard some thunder so I was watching for lightening. After we had been out there for about forty minutes I saw lightening by the towers. We decided we better get in. It started to sprinkle on our way in and I evidently lost the tie rope when I was fixing the anchor. By the time we got everything all set up the rain had stopped and we had seen/heard any more lightening. SO we all took our baths and Nana and I swam a short distance.
Back at the cabin we had ice cream and popcorn and looked at all the pictures on both Nana and Grandpa's phone. It was a lovely hour of narration as they explained each of their pictures. Grandpa went to bed and I tried to but Nana and Scott made me play cards. I played one came of three-handed euchre. Bob called while we were playing and said he couldn't leave until at least Friday after a dentist appointment because his root canal was having trouble. Ron and Dee were in Paxton and should be here on Friday. The earliest Bob and Sue could be here would be Sunday but it depends on what the doctor says. Grandpa and I saw a beaver swimming in front of the cabin.
My neck was starting to really hurt again so I made my escape to my shop room with my three blankets, wool socks and have the sweatshirt ready.
