Annie called and said we were meeting David and friends in Park Rapids for late breakfast. We had a nice drive over and got there early so went to shop at the Lazy One store. We were on our way to Ben  Franklin when David called to tell us they were waiting at McDonald's. We hustled over and decided it was too late for breakfast and we would have dinner instead.
We ended up at the Four Seas where we ate, and talked and laughed and shared our humanity.
The waitress took our photo. Left to right: Sammy, David, me, Cedar, Juanita, Annie and Geezis.
It was hard to say goodbye but we planned to meet again somewhere on the earth journey. Juanita was going to get off at Motley but David and Sammy were driving to Racine, WI.
We headed toward home and stopped at A-frame. I got my old camp fire cooking stove. Also a small table, an oil lamp and my coleman gas lantern. Cedar and I are trying to fix up Girlfriend's Retreat and the War Pony, too.

When I got back to the flat I was kind of sick but had planned the ice cram party and so I got right on that. I was the first to leave as I was feeling poorly. Had a headache and my face hurt. Laid on ice pack and fell asleep. Got up to take Mr C out and had a cup of coffee. Feeling like a new woman now!
However, as we sat in common room I saw something on the street. Upon further investigation found it was a large mud turtle. It had been run over by a vehicle driven by an underdeveloped person. Eggs had been pushed out of her. She was dying. It takes a long time for a turtle to die. So I got a shovel and a rake. Then Ed picked her up and carried her to the big spruce tree. He laid her in the friendly shade. I noticed that he did it in a respectful manner. I had to appreciate that.
My friend Ann was catching some rays in Xalapa today and sent photo.
