Wide Awake

I`m wide awake and here it is 1:15 AM.I just finished watching some Tv.. my neighbor taped last nights Grey`s Anatomy.and the Private Practice two of my favorite shows, they both were good but the finale on the Private Practice was a nail biting close your eyes jump out of your seat sort of finale.. one I`m sure I will be thinking about until the new season starts back in Sept and oh that seems so far away..when you have to wait to see what`s going to happen
Well my friend Pete,.. that I said was going back to VA well I`m sad to say he won`t be able to , his truck broke down won`t start at all.and so that puts a damper on his plans .. he was so looking forward to the trip,seeing his son Morgan friends and family and taking care of some business..but as he said and I to believe things happen for a reason.
Pete and I are talking about canoeing the Pine River on Saturday .could be said to be a sexy river the way that God has cut it out and the beauty in which flows each river has a flavor of its own I`m sure those that canoe will understand this analogy or comparison. He said there are alot if eagles on the Pine and I so want to see one up close and personal.MN has alot of eagles but I have yet to see one.I hope I get that chance this time.
Kaye Gillman came in to town and I went with her to run some errands , We went to Pete`s afterwards and I grilled some chicken or attempted to . I could not understand why it was taking so long to cook. Kaye was so gracious but I knew she was hungry and had to get home. Pete went to check things and he was out of propane so dinner was completed on the stove..all worked out, the dinner was good and we all had a relaxing good time , really need to try to get some sleep (it`s 2:00 AM) . will check . some e-mails and then get some Zzzz`s or a least hope to. I feel like two of the Seven Dwarfs Sleepy... for I`m so tired and Dopey because that's how I get when I can`t sleep well sometimes I`m dopey with sleep but can use it as a excuse this time .

Learning The Ropes

Today is a attempt at my second blog entry, I`m still learning the ropes. a great friend sent me the correct.way to to let others read my blog,..so after I share this info I hope I will receive some comments..good ones I hope ! !
The special; someone in my life Pete is making a trip back to Virgina leaving Saturday the 2Nd of May, this Saturday... I was going to go but after changing my mind a dozen times (who me )... changing my mind ? ? ? those who know me know that I change my mind as often as I do my furniture believe me that's alot..I have things to keep me busy here I am getting involved in the Cuyuna Historical Society will be making calls and the such.. "the Phone " is right up my alley. .Pete is the President
of the group.. all the members are really great people . hard committed workers in their.their work of preserving the History of this area. I `m happy that I can be useful in this way.

Pete is going to be gone a week to . I would of loved to go but lodging was to be a problem..He and his son Morgan have River property ..on the Cacapon River and will be getting it ready to sell the purpose of the trip to VA. . ..Cacapon means Healing Waters I don`n know about that.. but Beautiful Waters they are.. my first time in a canoe was on the Cacapon River a experience had.wonderful time ( canoeing on the river has a flavor all it`s own).... even when the canoe capsized and we got a compete dunking Pete, said I was a real trooper. I got back in the canoe soaked to the bone and continued like nothing happened.there was not anthing that could be done about it.. so why make a fuss.
Pete and Morgan will be camping up at the River most of the time he is in Va...getting the property ready for sale.. there is alot for them to do a more than a weeks worth of work but . but they will do what they can before retuning to their jobs. I will miss him but there is alot to do here ...the week go by quickly..and my new found pass time blogging will help too Ha ha
Well until the next Post take care and God Bless

Well here I go ..this is new to me.. so please if I bore you SORRY....I`ve had a great day and now am sitting here blogging as I sit my the window and enjoying the cool Spring Mn breeze coming through .I feel there is not a season that isn`t wonderful in Mn but most of all beautiful..I know all don`t agree for the cold is hard for some to tolerate and Oh does it get cold..call me crazy but winter in Mn is my favorite time of year. I feel Spring is next in line for the lakes thaw and the beloved Loon returns.. children's voices of laughter and such fill the street.. people out walking their dogs that have been house bound all winter,on my walk the other day there were five people that I saw walking their dogs and some had two .. well the dogs were walking their masters for they were so happy to be out and about...The sunsets any time of year here are beautiful.. but in the Spring and Fall they have a certain crisp beauty to them. I love to go down to the lake at night and build a fire in the full moon.. for as the moon shines upon the lake it makes a walkway across the water I love, love, love, that sight.I then love Fall third the cool evenings return..and then the artistry of god`s paint brush upon the leaves reflecting on the leaves is one beautiful sight to see. I also love Spring and Fall for it is great canoe time and then you see the Blue Heron beavers etc taking their respective places on the lakes.. now Summer is another story not ...my favorite..here..they have mosquito`s as big as hummingbirds and the darn things come in flocks not one by one the whole darn clan descends upon you....I know they have mosquito repellent but you need to soak your self in a vat before going out at night..maybe not that bad but Summer is not my favorite time of year in MN .. There is another experience that as a rookie to Mn my friend Pete told me I would enjoy and that is a Mn thunderstorm and boy is he right...the whole darn sky lights up and I mean the whole sky or so it seems. the sky will light up(all of it )and then thunder that sounds like the clashing of cymbals . then there is a echo of the rumbling thunder as it fades away and then the a moment of silence and then music starts again. you know i never thought of it but it would fit perfectly with Phantom of the Opera... Mn fish opener will be here soon the lakes will welcome all (everybody is in a good mood) people are putting their boats pontoons canoes in the water and yes jet ski`s too the smiles speak volumes...well I guess you can tell I Love Mn , why shouldn`t. I it`s HOME.
