Saturday - August 3

Another pretty day.....we had breakfast and later off to the Ink Corner Cafe for coffee/latte (warm cinnamon roll for Mark) - great pastries here and got 2 scones to go, plus a freshly-made biscotti.

Back to Catrina and worked on ranch pics, read, etc., as Jason and friend and sometimes up to 4 people worked on Catrina's outside.

Mark has started driving a little again....getting up from sitting position really hurts, along with in and out of bed,    And laughing, coughing, sneezing - big no no

Along highway 11 this morning, we came upon an Amish buggy.....surprised as we didn't realize the Amish were in this area.    We saw several biggies yesterday on our way to and from Clayton - strong presence of the Amish in that area.

Also yesterday in Sackets Harbor, the water levels were still so surprising.    Covered boat docs were all submerged....sand bags still protecting homes and businesses.    And all this from all the rain and high water levels this past spring.    Now some of these same areas could really use the rain.    Just taking a LONG time for lakes and rivers to recede.

Tonight we tried a new spot for dinner - "Euclid", a supper club that has been around since 1981.    Popular place and great dinners.    When we got back to Catrina, what a nice surprise to get an e-mail from Rainbow Trout and 311 new pics that had been taken our week at the ranch.    Their internet is so spotty, so took a while to download and pass on to all the guests!    Here are a few more...

So sad and heartbreaking to hear about the ElPaso shootings today - prayers for the victims, those recovering and their families.
