One last Bayfield post for you folks! Yeah, it was only a four-day trip, but we did a lot and why not share it! Now, let’s get into my last little story.
You ever have those moments when you just know you and your partner are a good match? Maybe they get you the gift you’ve always wanted or you both say the same thing at the same time. I had that moment as we were driving home from Superior and I saw an old schoolhouse. I thought that it would be cool to slow down and look at it, but I didn’t say anything. But I didn’t have to – Michael was already pulling over in front of it. Talk about soulmates, right?
Anyways, we got out of the car and poked our heads in pretty cautiously. I’m all for exploring weird places, but I didn’t want to barge in just in case it was a part of someone’s property nearby or other weirdos were also taking a look around. But as we peered around the corner, we saw the coast was clear. And I was pretty shocked to find that the place wasn’t empty!
Inside, there weren’t desks or anything like that, but it was pretty full. There was an old kitchen with a very vintage fridge, a few chairs, a pool table and a very spooky piano with broken keys. Obviously, Michael had to play it. He plunked away and had a little boogie going for a minute. On our way out, we gave the old iron merry-go-round a spin. Very Are You Afraid of the Dark?
The next morning we started to get our stuff together to leave, and Michael turned to me and said, “So what if we went back to the spooky schoolhouse so I could record a song?” I know Michael and this came as a very unsurprising surprise. So we packed our bags and headed back to Cloverland (I keep wanting to call it Cloverfield because it’s spooky).
The second visit was equally spooky but with way more bugs (just setting the scene here). Michael settled in pretty quickly and belted out an entire song he had written sometime in the previous 12 hours. I don’t know how he does it.
Truthfully, the song is too scary for me, and I mean that in the best way possible.
Anyways, these are the fun things we do on our trips: bookshops, islands, lighthouses and recording songs in spooky locations. We know how to have fun!
