07/08/17 - On 7/6, I left at 11 00 am for Hayward, Wisconsin.  I have a cousin (Mabel Mast) that lives there and I have not seen for at least 15 years.  I checked and had 75 miles from Duluth to Hayward but my total mileage was about 91 miles because I am 15 miles from Duluth and she is out in the country from Hayward.  I got there around 1 00 pm and we had such a good time just visiting and catching up.  She then decided she wanted to take me out for dinner and there was a Mexican Restaurant down the road so we went there for dinner.  When we were ready to leave, a storm came up and it poured rain and some hail and lots of wind.  We got home and into the garage which was great.  It did storm for quite a while but settled down.  During the evening, her granddaughter stopped for a short time.  We finally cut off the visiting and went to bed after 10 pm.

7/7 - I had planned to leave around 10 am but we started talking again and the next thing I knew it was 11 15am.  Mabel then asked me to stay for lunch.  She had made a wonderful chili soup and we had crackers and cheese.  Because of severe headaches, she has been on a special bean diet and she gave me a piece of chocolate cake made out of bean flour.  I have not tasted it yet.  I left her house at round 1 pm and was not on the road very long before I got into lots of rain.  At one time, I pulled off on a side road to wait out the sheets of rain that were coming down.  When it decreased, I took off again.  It rained off and on until I almost got to Duluth.  I got back to the RV a little after 3 pm.

7/8 - We have nice weather today and just opened some windows since it is 75 degrees and I need to air out the RV.  I did some chores around the RV, wrote a birthday card that will be late and missed the mailman at the campground so found the post office about 5 mles away so took a little ride and saw more territory.  That post office is hidden on a little road off of another small road and there is absolutely nothing else there but the post office.  Really interesting.  Now, plan to do some crocheting and then want to do laundry yet today sometime.  I am in slow gear so not sure when I will get motivated!!
