Back to the cabin for possibly the last visit of the year. I (Matthew) and the two ‘Fros (Nellie and Trisha). I don’t know how I got roped into coming with these two birds but here I am. I think after the first couple hours I became numb to their comments about how cold it was. Trisha has donned her polar coat and I a instantly reminded of the scene from “A Christmas Story” when Randy gets all bundled up and can’t put his arms down. It has been a real thrill to be up here. The two party animals who brought me spend their time reading, talking about scrapbooks, and planning Dutch Christmas. I also brought a book so I’m not completely bored. On our way up to the cabin we stopped at the Switchback Restaurant for dessert at about 12:30 in the afternoon. I had a turkey sandwich, Aunt Trisha had something truly decadent and Aunt Nellie had something that I can’t spell, but it rhymes with hip-hip-hooray. For the most part, the cabin is the same place. Although, I must give Kudos for the new outhouse – it’s the bomb-diggity. The sun is shining, the full moon has finally set and I’m pleased to say that I’m finished writing in the book. I was forced.
