Saturday, July
9, 2016:
It was off to The Fort Steak House at Fort Ripley, Minnesota, about 15 miles
south of Brainerd. Maranda Riley was the waitress that night....a real live wire. |
|
 |
|
| (l-r) Mark and
Paula dined with friends Nancy and Darryl Briley that night.
Paula became a friend of Nancy at grade school in Brainerd. Darryl was a high-powered financial number cruncher until his retirement in 2015. The special on Fridays at The Fort is chicken dinner, a favorite for locals and visitors alike. |

| Paula "Gilligan"
Persons, with her red hair, was having a wonderful time piloting
the Minnow on Gilbert Lake that night just before sunset. An uncharted island is out there somewhere! |
|
 |
| Plenty to see including fish being
caught. Looks like a Northern. Paula wishes she could catch fish like that, but she is not allowed to while SCUBA diving....DNR rules, darn! |
 |
| It was a nice night for youngsters to
cool off in the lake too. |
 |
| There seems to be no end to fun with
water skiers out for a thrill. |
 |
| Yes, they even take to the air at times. |
Quote of the day:
Enjoy the summer while it lasts. Mark
