A Lazy day.

 Last night was one of those bracing nights that made those sleeping want to stay in their sleeping bag meaning a great night to sleep.  This morning brought the sun that made it a pleasant time to wear a sweatshirt for some.  Preceding breakfast was a fast game of 3/13 with more to come.  Finally everyone is up.  Then it was time our first pancake breakfast in the U P.  Yum, yum. 






 Now you know how every morning will begin.  At least the pancake part.  It's such a great way to see the family and have some time with the grandsons.  There are lots of good stories that get reviewed.
This seemed to be a nap day for some reason.  But who needs a reason.  There were morning naps. The UP has flys but for now, they are gentle flies.  The biters are not here so if one wants to nap, this is how one might do it.  At least that was the case this afternoon after what was thought to be a short walk to Lake Superior turned into a very, very long walk because I took the long way back to the campsite.  .   

Doug loves to whittle.   He brings sticks from home and just carves away.  This happens a lot.
Meals are simple.  Tonight we finished off the smoked fish that Leslie sent our way.  Tonight as usual we'll hike down to the JB Russell site for a fire.  It's a very short hike.  Only two campsites in between.

    I am so glad you are doing your blog while you are there. How wonderful to see all the pictures and hear about your day. I have heard much about how those grandsons love grandma's pancakes and remember getting to enjoy them one time when we camped there with you all. They are right! That's my kind of napping! Is that a beard and mustache Jared is wearing??? Have fun! I encourage many people with your testimony and how you are now on this camping adventure! God is definitely always near!

    I agree with Mom/Nana Schaard: it is so great to keep up with you day by day. (And, as I think I may have written before, I will still look forward to Kimmy's account posted after you all get home. I always like binge-reading those.)

    Is there ever ice cream for breakfast in the U.P.? Or does that require Uncle Rick?

    Looks like a wild bunch to me. Black flies? Are those the pesky ones you are referring to? I have a hat with netting for that I will let you borrow for next year.

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having
