Today was more of the same.  By this time in the two weeks, we feel like simple and easy is the best.  The car didn't move and it was breakfast, book reading, and sleeping and then walking a bit and then lunch, and the same thing repeated.  Finished Simon the Fiddler, a story of south Texas just after the Civil war.  Interesting setting and the window into that time was very interesting.  The next three books are set in the early 1900s with Norwegian immigrants coming to America.  Doug is reading as well.  Evenings are spent at the JB Russell campsite with a fire until 10 and then it's to bed.  A bit of rain last night...just a bit. I'm posting two Fanny Hoe Lake pictures.  Fort Wilkins is between Fanny Hoe and Lake Superior.  There is almost

always a lake breeze between these two lakes.  
The next picture is of three of the Russells in their boats just leaving Fannny Hoe.  
I don't expect much more to happen other when what I've pictured for you already.  We are great sitters and readers at least on vacation.  Our meals are unbelievable simple with Doug taking much care about that he eats and how much he eats and me still with eating issues that seem to hang around.  We don't count either of these issues big issues at all.

    Thanks for the glimpse into the books. They sound interesting. The Norwegian immigrant series reminds me of a series I read many (40?) years ago: Moberg's four books on Swedish immigrants: Emigrants, Immigrants, Settlers, Last Letter to Sweden.

    I like the pictures; the landscape all by itself is restful.

    And I would like to send some slowly forming avuncular wisdom to Jared: You are as young as the number of body parts that you can move comfortably. If you can move as many as you need for a kayak - then, go kayaking! [This is from an uncle who has never gotten into a kayak - and most likely never will.]

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
