Well, no good deed goes unpunished. Hope the weather cooperates and you show them all a good time.


I will give you a raincheck on the on-ice breakfast extravaganza. As for the next one, only time will tell....

Had a great time Paul! My brother wanted me to thank you again for your hospitality and generosity.



I'll keep you in the loop concerning the fish fry and anytime you want to give those perch a run for their money, just give me a shout!

I didnt tell ya but I did something to a nerve in my right arm on that trip, the tip of my ring finger on my right hand has been numb ever since! I think it was all that "jerk jerk pause" stuff in the 30 MPH winds. Saw a neurologist twice, had tests done, ugh.
