Sat 17 Oct

Had a lovely week in Door County last week. Good weather from Friday arrival until the Thursday before we left. Got hiking in every day, even the Thursday in the morning after breakfast for a short hike at Ellison Bay. Got beaucoup apples of several varieties - now we need to be sure to eat them. Found a couple of new breakfast places - at the Ephraim Shores resort and Pelletiers (when the wait at White Gull was oppressive!). Got very lucky getting seated on several occasions, at Chef's Hat, Julie's, and Bayside Tavern. Hiked Newport, Peninsula, Door Bluff Headlands, Ellison Bay, Whitefish Dunes, Mink River Estuary. Today is Empty Bowls. Cantoring was switched to Sunday, so Bob and I will do the same Mass as he has to usher. I need to get to the library today to pick up several books on hold. Food: 7:55 am 112 g Fika cinnamon roll, 103 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Fri 9 Oct

Heading to Door County today for a week of fall color and fun. Should be delightful. Food: 7:45 am 97 g cherry almond kringle, 101 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Thurs 8 Oct

Busy day today. Already got sheets washed and on the clothesline and first clothes load in the washer. Exercise at 9 am, Bootstrap at 1, and OBT board meeting at 5. Whew! Food: 8:10 am 70 g cherry almond kringle, 103 g blackberries, coffee goat milk powder

Wed 7 Oct

Our program committee is going to meet (at least Dave, Rick, and I) just one day before the board meeting to begin discussions of procedures for reviewing applications. Once again, we didn't meet halfway between board meetings, but I was traveling and Jane is traveling again and it got lost. Today's discussion will be at least a feeble attempt to do our responsibilities. Food: 7:50 am 98 g cherry kringle, 101 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Tues 6 Oct

Not quite so frigid this morning, and a high of 71° predicted with sunshine. Got to start thinking about packing for Door County, and want to get to the bank to start the tithing donation to OBT. Food: 7:50 am 77 g cherry almond kringle, 102 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Mon 5 Oct

Only an OBT board mtg and a committee meeting on the agenda this week beyond the normal. Need to do laundry on Thursday to be ready to leave for Door Co Friday morning. Food: 7:45 am Apple turnover, 103 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Sun 4 Oct

Oh, how I dislike getting up at 5:30, especially for something other than vacation. Choir sings for 8 am Mass today. I believe Bob has to usher at 10:30, so we can't do anything together until afternoon. Food: 6:15 am Apple turnover, 106 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder
