Went out to dinner in Paradise at a fish place – it was their last nite open for this year so they were out of almost everything except whitefish – which is what I wanted !!! but not so much for Randy –though that was what he ended up ordering – delicious fish!!!!!!
AMAZING!!!! The amount of work and effort that was put into the Halloween walk we went on tonite!!! It was at Paradise near the Shipwreck museum – so many people put so much into this maybe ¾ mile scarefest!!!! I only screamed 3 or 4 times but the vignettes throughout the trail were so well done and SCARY!!!!!!! We had to wait probably almost an hour to start but the had a chance to talk with a woman from Detroit with her 2 kids about lots of stuff. Once we went thru the walk we went on a free carriage ride with 2 beautiful Percherons… all the while it was very cold (like 32 degrees) and snowed at several times (and snowed all the way back to our house – enough to have all the foliage on the side of the road covered with snow!)
Saturday was another perfect training day with the temp at 32 when we started with the first of 3 teams – the pups are running in harness and still doing very well. We upped the mileage abit and ran them 5.4 miles on a slightly different trail – the old dogs that trained here last year remembered it all but about half of the dogs we have to train had not so it was exciting for them!
After training we went to Newberry to mass and listened to a very good sermon by Fr. Marty about giving everything to God- worries, hurts, feelings, being drawn to do something good for someone else, and all things that Jesus wants us to give Him. He even used poker chips in his sermon as a demonstration of “being all in”!! After we went on a long ride around through rough roads east of our usual return home route thinking that the colors would be nice but there wasn’t much in the way of maples on that road………….
Sunday was a “go around more trails to see if any trees are down” day and spent a lot of time out in the woods across the road from us looking to see where there might be other trails for us to use – got lost……………didn’t know where we were for ½ hour (and of course I didn’t bring the phone………..) but finally found our way back to familiar territory!!
Woke up this morning to very noisy roof sounds (the roof over our bedroom must not have very much insulation cause I hear every rain drop and today it was every hail stone!!!!) and cold temps – like 32! It was kind of a miserable day for training – in the course of the 3 hours it rained, hailed, snowed and sunshined for about 3 minutes!!!! WE were both covered in mud and wet and cold when we were done today!!! Good thing I made a roast in the Instapot last nite for dinner so we have a warm hearty dinner already made and waiting for us!!!!
Tomorrow is an off training day so who knows what Randy will think of to do- -------
