My activity group (18 of us today) drove north to Copper Falls Sate Park. Even though it was misting, the falls (several) and the autumn colors were spectacular. We made a fire in the fireplace in the pavilion to cook hot dogs and marshmallows for s'mores. A great day.
I thoroughly enjoy our outings on Tuesdays. The best part of the day is the drive to and from. We always carpool - not always with the same people. Sometimes the talk is serious or political or deep. Sometimes it is about the absolute stupidest things. Whatever it is - the journey together is the important part - not the destination...although we have gone to some beautiful places that I would not have seen otherwise. I like pushing myself physically, too. Today was an easy day though. Next week we will have lived here for one year. I have been reflecting back upon the first 12 months. This group has been an important part of making the transition to retirement and the Northwoods a smoother one than without the group.
