Sunday

 Sing me a simple song.  No...give me a simple day. That was today.  I'm enjoying that.  

It was church day and we left home at 10 getting there a bit early.  I visited with a couple of friends in the Gathering Room.  Then on to the sanctuary at 11 which had a labor day attendance although there were more folks attending than I thought their might be.  There was a baptism and communion and once again Jill preached a super thinking sermon.  She's good at that.  

We headed home and lunch happened and then it was time to knit until the 2 o'clock hour when the USA FiFa B B  team played Italy.  Hanging on by a thread or less is how I would describe the game.  But at the last minute or a bit more USA pulled off a win.  Woo.  It was a breath holder most of the time with a ton of missed shots and other things that really looked sad for our team.  But a win is a win in the book. It's win number 2.  Number 3 is tomorrow.

I moved on to a football game along with knitting and then thought it was time to do a little fabric ripping.  And a little was enough that included one top flannel sheet and another half of a white sheet ready for marking and the sewing machine at some point.  When?  I have no time slot reserved.  I'm retired you know.  

Late afternoon was another moment with zoom and the family from Dallas, Conyers Ga. Nashville, Midland Mi.  and Carmel In.  So there was a lot of sharing and laughing and just catching up on what has happened this month.  

So another good day to add to many.

Monday

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 It's 7 PM and 66 degrees maybe with a breeze off the lake.  Changed to long pants and a better jacket.  It's cloudy right now with a chance of rain tonight.  Most rains are not predicted so it's maybe yes and maybe no.  So what was today like.  Check what was posted for yesterday with  kayaking deleted. Read, slept, walked and played cards once again.  We had icecream at the Fort Store.  That was a first.   We played a couple of games of Kubb.  It's a great yard game that one can become proficient in quickly.  The WiFi is really slow for picture up loads so one will need to do.   Tonight the JB family will begin packing for home.  The camp kitchen will come down and tomorrow morning the tent will be next.  The hope is that they will leave the campground no later than 10 after their last pancake breakfast at our dining fly.  It's always a sad time but the plan is to do this all over again next year...

3 plus 1 = Jared...Dee.

 This morning...nothing different.  Cards and Pancakes with no rain and none promised.  That could change but so what.  A little rain never has stopped us from doing.   The first big bottle of syrup and the first bag of pancake mix is gone but there is more stashed away.  We never run out of breakfast fixings.  The second book is well on the way. I think it's the same for Doug.  I spent the afternoon with Natasha sitting on the deck and visiting with her mother Dorthy.  She is a great storyteller.  Natasha's dad is our potter friend Dennis.  Natasha is also a potter among many other things.  This is a picture of the shop.  A large deck behind the deck is a sweet place to visit and make new friends.   Today our church friends Jeanie and Neal arrived.  They will be here for 3 nights.  We'll do a little visiting later around the Jared Russell campfire giving them some ideas of what they might like to ...
