Zatera Ul

We went away last weekend, up north. I came down with a cold, just before we left, and was sick the whole time. We stayed in a random motel, unfortunately in a smoking room, and even more unfortunately, one that the housekeeper preferred not to vacuum. We found the first agate of the trip on the floor, along with some scattered kitty chow and gritty sand. Not the most homely place, but it made me appreciate the comforts of our home much, much more.

We went out to Lake Superior, to a pebbly beach. Alas, now they have a sign up prohibiting the removal of driftwood and agates. So I just made little non-natural agate piles. OLC was munching on pebbles and sand by the handful for a while; we’ll have to see what comes out the other end in the next day or so. She was teething on driftwood too. MFH and I went into the lake about waist-deep. We dipped OLC’s feet in, but she didn’t like it.

We got back home early enough on Sunday to take a nap and settle back into home life. These next few weeks are going to be busy for us.
