Camping in June

 

Hello Friends, it is time to get an update from Ernie our rescue dog. 

Ernie went on his first camp trip in the month of June.

We enjoyed the shores of Lake Superior. 

One week before our camp trip a large storm blew in the area we had our camping reservations. 

I will share the photos of the destruction along the shores.

Thankfully we had lovely weather during our camp trip.

 

 

Our campsite.

A week before our trip a heavy rain and wind storm caused  a lot of damage.

 

If you look up, you will see a grill at a picnic site, the grill is just about to collapse off the edge after the washout.

 

 

Lake Superior... my favorite.

 

 

Completely, and perfectly, and incandescently, happy.

 1. What is an adult problem nobody prepared you for? 

Aging Gracefully.. it takes more work then I was prepared for.. Ha Ha! Currently I am struggling with my eyesight... it is a current problem!!  I use to wear contacts and used readers to work on the computer, read, sew and other up close activities. I recently switched to wearing glasses with  progressive lenses. I still cannot do up close work wearing my progressive lenses. This includes creating my fresh flower bouquets, reading, sewing, and more.

 

 2. Without mentioning any tech, what's your most prized possession? 

1. My family

 

 Sam's return last July from his deployment to Africa.

 

 3. It's National Peach Ice Cream Day (July 17th). Will you be celebrating? Do you like peaches? Given a choice would you prefer peach ice cream, peach pie, peach cobbler, or just hand me a peach? Do you own anything that is peach in color?

I do like peaches. I love peach cobbler. Yes, I have a peach colored T-shirt.

 4. What makes a friendship successful? 

I think it is taking time to listen to your friend. And your friend taking time to listen to you. To be the LIGHT for that friend on a dark day. 

 This can be in person, phone call or even texts messages. I do think if you can take the time to listen you can learn so much about a person.

Friends - they are kind to each other's hopes & cherish each other's dreams.

Henry David Thoreau

 5. Let's give our brains a rest and do a little summertime this or that...beach or pool? ice cream or snowcone? amusement park or camping? burger or hot dog? watermelon or strawberries? get up early or sleep in late? sunrise or sunset?

 6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

Friendship is born at the moment one person says to another,

"What? You too? I thought I was the only one." 

C.S. Lewis
