Once again mosquitoes are the topic of conversation as temps warm up a little each day.  I'm still wearing jeans and long sleeved shirts. Buddy and Teresa made us a really good breakfast wrap. It's

been a long time since we had a cooked breakfast.   My ear started to bother me again so Diane took me to the local doctor's office(Dr. Bob) and yes my ear is infected, the usual drops and pills.  Diane got her hair cut while we were in town.  We walked around a bit, found one antique store, the drug store and a nice butcher shop on our way out of town.  We got steaks for Labor day grilling.  This campground is on the Big Stone Lake and hosts a "Walleye Masters Tournament" each year.  As soon as we got home I started on my meds and took a short nap.  We had Teresa's famous Crawfish Etouffe for dinner. Oh Yum!

Woke up this morning and my ear actually felt worse but it has only been one day.  Temps are back into the mid 70's and we had sun all day.  Ate a quick breakfast so I could take pills. I had to throw a few pain killers into the mix of meds.  We sat around(I napped) all morning.  Finally we headed out for dinner to celebrate Buddy and Teresa's 40th Anniversary.  It was Mexican and the food was great.  Back home over to their camper chatted for awhile before calling it a night.

Last night was terrible for me.  Up every two/three  hours taking pain pills and walking the floor.

Diane made me an egg sandwich so I could take my meds.  My ear was swollen and red.   After a

little research on Dr. google we decided I had a reaction to the ear drops.  So I quit using the ear drops. I laid around again most of the day.  Diane went to town for groceries for our ham dinner tonight.  About 2pm Buddy and Teresa came over we played a game called Sequence really had a good time. We set up the new "mosquito proof "screen room.  It worked well until it started to get dark then we headed into the camper.  Another game or two and we called it night.

Well, I made it all night without waking up for pain pills.  Ear is still very sore but swelling has gone down some.  When I walked Rudy this morning I only got bit twice, I guess the mosquitoes don't like

medicated blood.  Diane made another good breakfast (ham, egg and cheese omelet). We went with Buddy and Teresa to DQ for a lite lunch then back and played a card game (Sequence) until dinner time.  We all had a wonderful steak and baked potato for Labor Day dinner.  Buddy marinated them in his special recipe sauce, They were very good.  A few more games our camping weekend is over, oh so sad.  We said goodnight but tomorrow will be the goodbyes.
