It’s always great to get away to the cabin….but this time Wayne has brought up his Solar generator– so it is silence when we use that. No noisy generator is a game-changer. ANd he brought up a Starlink satellite system and TV monitor so he and Monson can watch all the football games this weekend. Including the Utah game against UCLA. – Utah won and the game was AMAZING!
We got to the cabin with Wayne and I, Monson, Tayla and Elsie Friday at dinner time. It seems like everyone had the same idea to get outta town for Labor Day weekend…so traffic was a mess. Lady got covid and was home from school most of the week, and we are waiting for a negative test to bring her to the cabin, so Lexi stayed back with her and they came up on Sunday. Landon and Sophia were supposed to come up as well, but Sophia also has Covid and feels crappy. COVID is definitely going around right now.
Elsie walked into the cabin and kept saying over and over, “Is this even real?” She was so excited..then she said, “Somebody pinch me.” She’s a hoot. Elsie and Tayla LOVE playing games– so we have done that most of the day, along with walks to the rock throwing place. We sing songs as we walk to the rock throwing place.... the same songs I sang when my kids were little.
Wayne took up his chain saw and his fishing stuff.. That was all fun for him too. We had a momma and a baby Moose hang out by our cabin most of the weekend.
We love the cabin, but always make sure others know that it’s a cabin, it’s rustic, there are single lightbulbs with no light fixtures etc…but there are two workable bathrooms, and a good kitchen, and a generator that powers it all. We’ve been coming here for 30 years.
I loved coming to the cabin when our boys were little…it was easier then, no schedules or Sunday church callings, so easier to get away. Things have definitely changed up here… More cabins, more people, no more grass in front of our cabin, since Grandpa Welch died. He used to come up every week to water etc… but we still love it.
