We came up to Grand Isle to see how things are, to take measurements, check out used furniture, start bringing stuff up.
There are no neighbors here this time of year, as we are the only ones with a year-round house. It's so quiet.
Since we have no furniture, we are sleeping on a twin aerobed, which had a hole in it, but which we patched with duct tape--thank God DH remembered to bring it up with us.
Since there is no water on until spring, we have jugs of water for brushing teeth outdoors, and don't ask about the other plumbing workarounds.
So DH is already asleep on the floor in front of a blazing wood stove, we have collapsible stadium chairs--the deluxe kind with the footrest, where I'm watching the fire inside as well as outside (DS is up here with us and he started the fire pit going in the snow, 36 degrees, snow on the lake). I'm going outside with him in a couple of minutes to have a beer, listen to the latest songs he wrote, and look up and actually see stars with no light pollution.
This is awesome.
