Friday, Aug 30

After morning coffee Jeanne and I headed into Virginia (a close town) for lunch at China Buffet and then to go to Mineview in the Sky.  It is a museum that Jeanne has passed by for years and was curious.  So we went to it and that is what it is - a view of the mine from the top of a hill.  Was a pretty view and they had some big mining equipment.

view of the mine which is hard to distinguish in this photo.
We went into Virginia so that I could take a picture of this giant loon in the lake.  Not sure what it is made of.  

We drove back to Ely and stopped at the Red Cabin for ice cream.  They have a different flavor every day.  Today was Georgia Peach.  yummy.  It is a custard ice cream. 

then home.  
Jay made a delicious fish and wild rice dinner.  Served with a Piesporter white wine.  Great.  The fish had an apricot sauce on it.
Jeanne and I finished out puzzle.  It was a fun one.
