Mark and I had to "move in" with Paul and Janice for 2 weeks this summer. Helen and Duane Mathias' daughter came back for a visit and we let her be in her parents house uninterrupted. Mark and I have been "house sitting" for her parents while they are on a mission in California for 1 year. We have been so blessed to be in their home.
.............So we "moved" to Paul and Janice's and were grateful for their hospitality and glad we didn't have to pay for a motel for 2 weeks. THANKS :)
After being at Paul and Janice's for a week, Mark and ALL of his brothers went on a trip up to the boundary waters. For those people who don't have a clue what the "boundary waters" are I've copied what the "all knowing Wikipedia" says about it.
"The Boundary Waters is a region of wilderness straddling the Canada/US border between Ontario and Minnesota, in the region just west of Lake Superior. The Boundary Waters region is characterized by a vast network of waterways and bogs within a glacially carved landscape. The Boundary Waters is a popular destination for recreationalists pursuing camping, canoeing, fishing as well as for those simply looking for natural scenery and relaxation. The area is one of several distinct regions in Minnesota"
...........So off my hubby went with his brothers for a week with all
there food packed and a couple canoes. Emmalee came up from Iowa and stayed for
the week while our husbands canoed. When I wasn't at work we had a good time hanging out, going
on walks, going shopping etc.
Here are some pics from Mark's Boundary Water excursion.
