Sunday, Father's Day 2012

>> Monday, June 18, 2012

Father's Day  was originally planned to be celebrated on the boat in Arizona and visiting in Colorado Springs on the flight home.
A gall bladder attack(s) interrupted all that. The Good News.......it wasn't gallstones.  That is really good news!

So Sunday, Father's Day, was spent quietly at home, walking through the Shawano swap meet, planting a new birch in honor of Don, and at the end of the day, relaxing in the hammock. It was so nice, could I order another Sunday, please?

Ode to Dad

>> Saturday, June 16, 2012

In honor of their Father, I asked my kids why they thought their dad is a great dad.....and here is their responses.

Cammie: Hmmmm, He's hard working, funny, treats me like a princess, fixes my car, quotes movies at the dinner table and always helps me out when I start the conversation with "daaadddddyyyyy...?" in a little girl voice.

Erik: He can do anything.  He's the first one I call.

Never a dull moment

>> Monday, July 11, 2011

Plenty can happen even in a four day work week:

Erik now has symptoms and is being treated Lymes Disease. He had called me at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday morning and said he ached all over and couldn't sleep. I had him come over, gave him Ibuprofen and tucked him in bed. Doctor took one look at him and said, "That looks like Lymes". 20 days of antibiotics.

Rocky now has a bark collar. (and that is all I'm saying about that).

Justin now works for Caterpillar (Bucyrus buy out).

Don has now hired the contractor to put in footings and foundation for his shop

And I found a forgotten picture of my mom and sisters (Becky & Sharon) at the cottage.
Priceless.

Campsite #49

>> Monday, July 4, 2011

As we were driving up to Baileys Woods campground on Saturday morning, Cammie was busy cooking breakfast for us. Cammie did all cooking this weekend....paybacks are NICE.


Cammie and Justin arrived one day early and called us to bring the sleeping bags up on Saturday.
It was warm during the day, but got chilly at night. Made sleeping wonderful!


Justin's job was cutting wood for our evening bonfire and unfolding and setting up chairs around the fire ring.

Meanwhile, Erik arrived and was quick at getting his tent set up.

After breakfast we went into Fish Creek and
  • registered for the 5K Hairpin Race that would take place on Monday, the 4th,
  • sat in the rockers on the Main Street Square and people watched
  • walked down to the marina park and ate hot dogs,
  • hit some more stores
and after a good day, we headed back to the campground.

Justin and Cammie made diced potatoes/onions foil packets and chili lime chicken kabobs over the fire for supper.

It was a good evening around the fire. Erik entertained us with stories of his friends.
We toasted marshmellows and put them between fudge striped cookies. Ummmm!

Sunday morning, Don and I drove to the Viking Grill to meet Sue and Mike Christianson for breakfast. As always, I ordered "The Golfer". It was so good to see them and spend the morning catching up on news.


We hit the beach on the east side of the peninsula. Came back showered and headed to Pat and Gail Mullaney's house on Rowley's Bay for supper.


Fish Creek celebrates Independence Day right by hosting the 5K Hairpin Run to benefit Gibraltar Area School.
We started at 8:30 am in Fish Creek and run uphill out of Fish Creek (a killer, but just keep running, Forest Gump!) This was my 9th year and my best time!

Next on our race roster is the Door County Triathlon which takes place July 16-17 in Egg Harbor’s Murphy’s Park
The motto “Can’t  bluff the Bluff". Our (relay) team name is Tri and Tri again.  Don is our newest member, the swimmer. Susan, the biker, and I (runner) have done this before.

A fun day with
Justin and Cammie....
Erik and Lauren

Opening present wiped Don out.

To all the girls in our family.
DO NOT BELIEVE GPA DON in Phoenix,
your present was not a picture of our house in a snowstorm (black frame, batting insert).
Ha! It is for your jewelry.
The reason for the colored pins inside.
Here is a picture of the one, Donnie made me, hanging in my bathroom.




Thanks, momma for the reindeer pjs, love them!!!!
