Rolled out really early, at least for me, when I got up at 6:00 AM. Got the dogs fed and walked and got myself ready and then headed out for Superior, Wisconsin. Two of the best friends anyone could have, Ron & Kay Rivoli, were going to be in Superior for an 8:30 AM campaign rally. They are with the Tea Party Express on a tour of Wisconsin campaigning for a U.S. Senate candidate. For several years now anytime we were anywhere near where Ron & Kay were performing we made every effort to catch up with them. We had a good visit, although fairly short, over donuts and coffee. All too soon it was time for them to climb back on their bus and head out to their next campaign stop. (Long term readers of this blog will remember that these two drove 1,600 miles, round trip, last November to sing at Joanne's memorial service. Also, they furnished me a place to park my motor home for a week this past January at their winter home in Daytona Beach, Florida.)
It was lightly raining this morning so after visiting with Ron & Kay I came back to the coach and relaxed with the dogs. It did rain most of the day but in the afternoon it cleared off and the sun came out. The temperature here in Duluth got all the way to 69 degrees. This is great compared to the 100+ temps that are still happening back home. During the evening I walked over the bridge to Canal Park for dinner. The most well known, and one of the oldest restaurants in the area is Grandma's. It is traditional to have at least one meal there each time we are up here. Grandma's is in the shadow of the Duluth "World Famous" Lift Bridge that spans the shipping canal between Lake Superior and the inner harbor. (Of course, as usual, it just started to go to the raised position as I was approaching it, both going over and coming back.)
