Day 27 (11/25/12)
It has been one of those summers that it is hard to let go
of. Although the temperature was often outrageous and most of the country
experienced one of the worst droughts ever there was a lot of gorgeous weather
as well. Perhaps because of the lack of rain there was more than enough time to
have fun. At any rate I am not ready for winter and when we saw that Sunday was
going to be at least seasonably warm we decided we needed to take one more trip
to Fischer Creek for some rocks. Eileen had recently sold a couple of necklaces
and we were reminded that she would need more stones for the winter. We needed
some supplies from Fleet Farm so we decided to run through Plymouth on our way
to the beach. After leaving Plymouth we thought it would be fun to take some
back roads across to the lake. Our trip
took us up hwy 57 to Kiel where as we were coming into town we noticed a sign
for “Abler Art Glass” studios and turned on in. We were not disappointed. We
started by watching a glass vase being blown and although we have seen it
before it is always impressive to watch. We then went in to peruse the
merchandise. There was some really fun stuff and if we had more room in our
house we may have actually thought more seriously about a couple of pieces. We
settled on some earrings and a pendant for Eileen and were back on the road
again. From Kiel we headed up Hwy 67 the St Nazianz. From there it was just a hop,
skip and a jump to Fischer Creek. When we got there it was kind of overcast and
we were a little afraid it was going to be kind of cold and windy but when we
got down by the beach much of the wind was blocked. After about a half hour of
collecting the sun came out and the sky became almost totally clear. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful November day. We spend a couple of hours
walking the beach and combing for stones. As always it was hard to leave but
the hollow spot in my stomach was reminding me that we hadn't eaten since breakfast.
So with our new found treasures we pointed the car south and headed on home.
