Well we survived the big weekend, "Hay Days".  A celebration of the pioneers, who established and developed our community of Shell Lake.  I believe everyone who participated had a great time, I know I did, and I only watched from a distance.  Oh yes, the weather man was definitely wrong again!  Who said prayers don't work, this weekend was a prime example of prayers in action.

  Well Boots has had his first breakfast and is now out on patrol, or should I say out looking next door  to see if they have left any food scraps out!  Which they have not, I looked first!  Oh, he is back knocking on the door.  I should make him wait, until I go for coffee with Donald at eight!  The big baby is back indoors and now that I would not feed him another breakfast is sulking at his western perch.  Such a life!

  The sun is brightly shinning in through my window this morning, and it looks like it will be another glorious day in God's country!  Susan will be packing up to head back to the city, as she has to return to work for the next four days.  Then she has reassured me she will return for two days before she has to repeat the cycle once again.  Where did her holidays go?

  Today I am going to do some more yard maintenance, if my headache will allow it, this past four days took a lot out of me.  Water some grass, possibly cut some grass.  Definitely, I will be sitting on my deck and spending time keeping my mind clear, and trying to think about Building the Simple life................
