Time to send Gram G "back east". But first some lunch fun at Famous Dave's with granddaughter, Angie, AKA, My Sam.
lots of Georgia pork
Georgia mustard...
Rich & sassy...
don't believe the rich part...
A high flowing Columbia River
Adios, at the airport....
Two rare Portland sightings....
The fluke of the great white whale....
The blue sky....
High flying message at 35000 ft.....
Minneapolis lights....
Son, Burt, picked me up Thursday, 11pm, at an airport an hour's drive north from his home....forest and fields all the way. Burt spotted a coyote while watching for deer not to hit. The next morning I slept in a bit and later went walking in the Wisconsin blue sky. I haven't been back for almost 10 months. This trip is a business/visit ailing folks/catch up with family/reconnect with friends/watch granddaughter program time. So grateful I am able to do this. Even if weather goes from 70 to 40 degrees in one day.
Grandson, Logan is home schooling. He had to write a limerick that day. The family recently returned from a trip to D.C. and had toured George Washington's home and saw several sets of his false teeth. That was the theme of Logan's limerick. Gram G thought she would try one. Corrected limerick...
I went looking for Washington's teeth.
I found them stuck in a chunk of beef.
He loved his meat so sweet,
Soaked in barley and wheat.
He's now toothless and meatless beneath.
Hey! What you think?? A new career as a limerick writer??
I was introduced to homemade kombucha. Jen has been making it for a few months.
Making kombucha.....To brew kombucha, brew sweet tea, and then add SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) to ferment the mixture. Fermentation takes 7 to 10 days
scoby motel.....finished 2nd fermenting.
tastes like a bubbly, mild vinegar....
That evening we had a movie marathon of Sing, Fantastic Beasts and Rouge One (half through).
First intro to Crater Lake
GramG/Tyler summer excursion coming up....
Saturday Al drove 100 miles south from Park Falls to take us east to Green Bay...a 2 hour drive through farm country
and a patch of snow...
Going to granddaughter, Autumn's,
show choir performance..
Autumn and friend, Bridgette....

11PM motel pizza
Sunday drive through Title Town and glimpse of Lambeau Field
On to 35 miles south to Oshkosh
Oshkosh Red Robin lunch with Wauwatosa Schmidts.....cousins....

Heading "up north"....
open fields
traffic the way I like it..I like it...
(another 4 hours north)
Wild turkeys as we get 60 miles from Park Falls
Loud bang on the windshield....
What is it??HAIL!!!
Sudden loud hail...
A drive, dive under a tree....save the windshield....
Lots of fog....And this?
an unfocused bear cub running in unfocused hail....or unfocused photographer with driver who wouldn't slow down on hail covered road...
a hail swarm...
blue sky again, just for a few moments...
By the time we arrived in PF about 8 pm several heavy thunder, lightning, wind storms had rolled through. They continued all night.
mixed weather for the week....
Oh, look! Snow and rain.....
19 degrees Wednesday night....
And I forgot my swimsuit.
So Gram G is really roughing it this week. No TV
No internet, except for this evening while connecting to a nephew's phone "hot spot".
Think I will survive???
Gram G's wheels for the weeka closer look....
can't knock a free drive
Good Morning, Tuesday!! 4/11/17
This has been a good 5 "going back east" days in the life of Grandma G.
"The Lord will keep you from all harm--He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and your going both now and forevermore." (Psalm 121:7 & 8)
