Door County

Hello all! I'm back in the Mosquito State of Alaska! They aren't too bad! I hurt my arm so I probably will not type until later. It's pounding with pain! So I will try to upload as many photos as I can. Ok, so an update on my arm: tendonitis from Berry jerking my arm when she is a leash. Praise God the doctor was coming Monday. I got a shot of something and my arm was feeling a little bit better after two hours. My other arm that I got the shot in still hurts. Yeah, I was a wimp and cried a teeny tiny bit. It hurt a lot! I was icing three times a day and now I'm not icing it all, but still taking ibprophen about every 8-10 hours. I have a lot more movement and strength back already. i'm thankful for answered prayer: quick healing!

Door County: My grandparents took me sailing in a bay in Michigan Lake, maybe Green Bay, but not sure. It was a little rainy when we left, but we got 1 1/2 hours in. It has always been one of my dreams to go sailing. We had an awesome younger couple who also went with us. We did a lot of talking and laughing. 2nd photo

I got to milk a lamb! How flippin awesome is that! He was so cute. This doesn't compare to the zoo I went to with my whole family and grandparents in Wallace, Michigan. I can't wait to post those pictures of holding and petting animals a lot of people do not get to do often. At THE FARM there were just a bunch of farm animals. I loved the massive horse, holding a chick, kitten, and the cows sticking out their tongues for you to feed them corn. After the zoo, we went to this awesome restuarant where the food was delivered on a train! This mini train track was set up in the bar and through the kitchen. All these little kids that were there loved. I did also. I thinK my Nanna enjoyed it more than I did. She is so young at heart!

The next few pictures is of the cedar forest we went hiking in. I was impressed with how my grandparents did it! They were a little cautious, but took their time and did an amazing job! You can see lake Michigan through the trees. We camped all week at Peninsula State Park. Wow, is that beautiful! Here is a picture of my Nanna. It took 7 tries to get a good picture of herself. She was trying so hard to "smile". The sunset was spectacular!

We ate our first dinner by the lake. It was so nice to soak up the sun that evening! The other pictures are random ones, not from the trip. I spent time with my sister at her spacious apartment. I made sure to use the treadmill and we went swimming. It was so neat to swim at night, under the stars and so peaceful! We also walked across the street to coldstone. I would not even consider moving from Koyuk if there was one here. My favorite ice cream in the world! My sister and I also saw UP. Super great movie! Love it! A tear jerker and just a wholesome family movie.

More photos of Door County another time.

Off to read and very excited to have my rummage sale tomorrow to make some cash for flights to Galena and MN. I've also been very busy moving into the other apartment that has windows in the living room and an extra bedroom! I just need the darn carpets cleaned, but the special extension is no where to be found, but someone gave me an idea that it might be in the trailer, why would you not put it back where you can find it? i'm not sure. It was a frustrating morning. Glad that is over! Now I just need to find the key to get the cord. Goodnight!
