I know it’s been a while since I posted. I had a big weekend and I had to work on Wednesday and Thursday to get ready for it, so I didn’t have a spare minute. Whew. Anyway, Doug & I (yes, just the two of us) left right after we dropped the kids at school on Friday morning to bring the camper to our property up north. Turkey season is in two weeks and Doug needs a place to stay. I thought it was craziness to go camping in Wisconsin on April 7 & 8, but we got a PERFECT weekend. By the time we got up there after lunch, the sun was shining. Oh, it felt wonderful after so much cloudiness here. We worked on clearing a road for Doug so that when he gets a deer this year (not if, but when), he doesn’t have to drag it to his truck – he can bring the truck to it. Don’t need him having a heart attack trying to do that. After we worked for a while, we laid out on the picnic table benches (the picnic table was Doug’s Christmas gift) and soaked up some sun. It felt wonderful to my poor, aching muscles. It’s been a tough fibro winter. We relaxed and played two games of cribbage on Friday night (I FINALLY beat him!!) and went to bed early. I mean [9:00]. Wow, was that great!! Saturday, we took a drive before getting back to work on the road, clearing out some stumps from the last time the trees were harvested. The land had been owned by a paper company and will need to be harvested again sometime around the time Alyssa goes to college. The Lord’s provision at work. We enjoyed our time so much and I didn’t freeze to death as I feared. I’m looking forward to the time when the two biggest are out of the house & Jonalyn & I will be able to go hunting with Doug. Of course, we’ll stay in the camper or around the campsite, but it will be great to get away with him, enjoy our property, write, read a book…

This is a picture of the road we’re working on.
