Things I love about Grand Marais

So on this beautiful fall day Gert came up to the house for the afternoon.  We had lunch and then later we had the old school afternoon coffee break with fresh apple crisp.  It just made me feel like I was living 40 years ago when people used to do that every day.  Then I brought Gert home and on the way we stopped and my friends Kent and Lyndsey's house.  The have created quite the farm of animals they have rehabbed.  First there is the dogs Wallace and Agnes.  The cats Elsie and Effie.  Clem the cow that was born way to early and lived in the house with them for a long time until he got to big but he still thinks he is a dog and most recently they have a chicken that lives in the living room, snuggles in bed with them, eats breakfast with them and also thinks he is a dog.  He got injured at the dairy when he was a chick so they took her in and she lays and egg every day for them.  I can't wait to see what other animals they will end up with over the course of our life time!
So I love Kent and Lyndsey.  Did i mention the chicken rides to town with them and goes into the gas station?  The cow used to ride to town with them too.  He is a little big for that now.

The other thing about GM I love is that there is a big sign outside the Recycling Center store that says Please don't leave items unless the store is open.  And there is always a big pile of items that have been left right in front of the sign. Cracks me up.

Another thing about GM that I love is that when you get older or if you can't open containers like juice bottles, the clerk at the grocery store will do it for you.

Free cookies at the bank on Fridays bring in customers who have no bank business but just want to get a cookie or there are some that will sit around like it is a coffee house.  Again with no banking business to actually do.
