Ady the Literalist

These are some of the converstaions lately with Ady

Ady:  Mom I have to go potty right now.
Mom:  Are you going to pee your pants?
Ady:  Do you mean pee my shorts?

Ady:  Rashel(Ady's self-proclaimed best friend who is 20 years old, is Kasey's cousin, and is working with us this summer), I made you a sign with my name on it, in case you forget my name.  Then you can just read it and remember. Do you want me to put Brock's name on it too?

Ady was saying her prayers when Mom was putting her to bed.  She got to the middle and this followed:
Ady:  I don't know what to say.
Mom:  Say what you would like to be blessed with.
Ady:   Tell me whatever what you want me to say Mom. 
Mom:  Okay, say what just told you I want you to.
Ady:  Please bless Mom can have whatever she wants.
Mom:  Okay, that works.

Ady:  All these people are coming to see the Lodge and I have to show them all the Lodge and all the cabins.  And all the people keep coming to the Bunkhouse and I just keep showing everyone the Lodge and the Bunkhouses.  And it is driving me crazy.  And it is driving me nuts.  And I am getting tired.

Dad:  How was your pre-kindergarten day?  
Ady:  Just fine.
Dad:  Who was your teacher?
Ady:  Mr. Sleepy
Dad:  Ok was your teacher a boy.
Ady:  No
Dad:  Huh.
(her teacher was Mrs. Schliep)

Busy Busy

In the midst of smells of sawdust that is all over the lodge and another fishing opener in Minnesota, here is a "hi" from Brock and Ady in their favorite place(well, unless you count finding all the worms under the log chairs surrounding the firepit).  

The last month seems a bit of a blur as we have moved to Minnesota again and continued working at Clearwater Resort.  We have found ourselves very busy with all sorts of new projects, beginning to train a new crew of workers, and getting back into the swing of working with customers who are wanting to spend time up in the Boundary Waters.  We don't blame them.  We are wanting to get out there too, but have been a bit busy with a few things like redoing the entire plumbing system in the Lodge and putting in a commercial kitchen.  We did get a chance to paddle and hike to the palisades across our lake a couple weeks ago.
