Sunday

 



Beautiful Lake Superior and our favorite beach at Great Sand Bay.  The lake does interesting things when we are not around.  A few winters ago the sand was sucked away showing us all rocks along the water's edge.  This year the sand is back.  

SUNDAY    The morning started early for me.  I think I was the first one up.  I decided to do a bit of walking so over to the big lake I walked.  The sun was just coming up with an added lake breeze made the morning one filled with expectations. I caught some beautiful beautiful pictures with the sun shining through the trees.    The kids slept late so breakfast started around 9:30. More walks and a little reading took care of the rest of the morning minutes till noon.

One of those walks took me to the Fort Store where the first Christmas gifts for this year were purchased for the grandsons.  That’s always something I try to find while here.

While I was messing with my iPhone I realized that it was 11 am and time for church at North which is lived streamed.  While sitting on the picnic table where I could pick up the service I heard wonderful music and words from the ministers while enjoying the blue sky and gentle sun.  What a treat. 

A small lunch because breakfast was late and the two Russell cars went into town to check out the pottery shop.  The pottery shop deck was filled with chairs and visiting happened.  Then it was on to the old but new Agate shop in town.  It had been closed for quite some time but with renewed efforts and new owners, the store once again is filled with great rocks and some nice green stone and agate jewelry. 

We headed back to the campsite and another late afternoon of rain treated us.  I decided that a nap needed to be done so in-between paragraphs of the latest book I seemed to include a snooze.  The rain continued off and on and the decision was made to do an entry in word for the day.  I did that sitting in the tent with my warm jacket on plus one of Doug’s good warm jackets and my hat I found in the car.

 I’m toasty as can be listening to the rain on the roof while sitting in the tent posting my entry on the computer. 

The evening weather returned to something very nice to enjoy.  A Sunday evening tradition is having popcorn and Ice cream.  The popcorn didn’t happen but after visiting the grocery store and returning with two tubs of ice cream we manage to polish them off in grand style.

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

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

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
