Labor Day Week-end

Well, here we are at the end of summer. The kids go back to school and fall is knocking at the door. We have some color on the maples already. This summer went by so fast. We missed the grandkids but they are getting older and have things they want to do and that is good. The bear was back checking for the feeders so I'm glad I keep taking them in as they are expensive to replace and I don't want the bear to get into trouble by losing his fear of people. He doesn't seem to afraid now but I want him to live a long life. I really enjoy seeing him--anything that is wild. I have always had a special place in my heart for all animals. I appreciate their ability to survive and adapt. Dennis and I are alone this holiday week-end and plan to go to the fish boil at the point with Norm and Sandy. I think I have a date with a fishing pole also. Have a good, safe week-end. Love and good cheer from us at Camp Runamuck!

10 Years!

I did not post an Anniversary wish to Alida and Joe. It was their 10th Anniversary on the 15th of August. They only have to make 40 more to get to their 50th. I know we will never see it but we want them to know that the older you get the sweeter the relationship. It is hard when you have so much going on but take the time for yourselves and remember why you wanted to be together,keep a kind word for each other. A hug or a compliment goes a long way in someones busy life. Make each other feel important, you get it back in a happier spouse. Love you both.

Happy Birthday Terrie!

Today is Terries Birthday. She is a little over the age of 21. I was working at the Blueberry Festival and heard from different people how nice and friendly she was. They could have added a good wife, mom and daughter on to that but then they don't know her that well. Have a great year, you are much loved.

Another Festival Gone.

The Blueberry Festival had a lot more people at it than in years gone by. The venders were happy. They made many sales. Some of the kids in our family couldn't come up and we really missed them. It is not the same without them.
All are gone back home except for Mike Pierce and Sara. They are leaving some time today. The house will be quiet again. Dad and I enjoy watching everyone sit down by the fire, play the wii and other game systems they bring up. Everyone is having fun--laughing, playing tricks on each other and just being together. Dad and I will get busy staking wood and getting the last of the blueberrys of the season. I still haven't been out fishing and want to go. Have a good rest of the week.

Starting to Arrive

The Blueberry Festival week-end has started. Alida, Pierce, Kyle Joe and Miranda arrive last night. This is a fun week-end and is the last hurrah before the summer ends for our family. We look forward to each arrival. Bear was back last night. I didn't hear him but his footprints tell the tale. I'm glad he is coming in the early morning instead of 9:30 at night. Have a good day!

Made their Limit!

We got a call from Ann yesterday. She is in Alaska fishing. It is amazing that we can talk by cell phone from there. They have gotten their limit of fish every day before noon. Their group consists of Ann, Leanna and her Mom and Dad. They are doing better than the men out on charters. They, of course, are not rubbing that fact in. They are going out on a charter for halibut today. They can't go out in a little boat for that type of fish---they go out a long way in the water. I hope their luck holds--halibut are great eating fish.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Aaron! You are a Happy little boy. You are adventurous and have a great imagination. Have a great birthday! We all love you. Yesterday was Michelles birthday and today Maggie shares Aarons special day. They are my sisters grandkids. We all all proud of our grandkids. Aaron is one of my brother and Sass grandkids. Have a good day-everyone.

So there!

I have been having a disagreement with the bear. I took in all the feeders. Have yelled at him, he didn't care and we have set off some firecrackers to scare him away. He isn't afraid and looks at us with a disgusted sneer. I went to bed and in the morning got up to find just what he thought of us. This was left right next to my tomatoes and it looks like something is wetting on my parsley--it is getting brown on the leaves.

Big Bear

The big black bear is back. He has not bothered anything since the weather got warmer and there was more for him to eat but now he is back prowling around the house. He is big and not afraid so beware and don't think you are going to yell and he will leave. I don't like this bear, he could be a BIG problem.

Happy Birthday Pierce!!!

Today is Pierce Griffons Birthday. Pierce is a great kid. He is a big help to his Grandpa and I. He is very smart and is a whiz at the computor games. We enjoy his company. He will be great at whatever he chooses to do. We love you Pierce and look forward to seeing you up here with us. Happy Birthday!

Getting Ready

This week will be a busy one for us. Dennis is going to try to get the jetski fixed for the kids when they come up for the Blueberry festival. They had so much fun last year, he wants to try and have it going for them. We dropped off the big trailer for the wood guy to fill so we will be a year ahead on our wood supply. This year we will just have to stack it unless he gets a truck of logs in. Wood is getting harder to come by at a good price. We know how much work goes into doing it and with the cost of gas they are not making much. It is a very pretty day and so far the heat has been very tolerable for me. Enjoy your day!

Lonesome Sounds

The fog was heavy last night and the lonesome sounds of the passing ship horns pierced the night air. They warned others that may not have the fancy devices for seeing in that type of condition they were there. I love to hear them and really miss the fog horn on the point sounding off like it used to when we first can out here. Some things do not change for the better and that is one of them. The fog is like a blanket on the water and you can hear the sounds of the engines on the ships and many other things you would't normally hear because it causes the sound to carry. Dennis and I enjoy listening to the sounds of the night. It is relaxing and lulls you to sleep. Have a great day!
