Java’s Water Park

Maery Rose

I took a brief break from real life. The time away was way too brief, but too many irons in the fire to take more.

I went on a two-night camping trip to Tettegouche State Park, near Silver Bay, MN. There’s too many photos to show all at once so I’ll post as I get a chance to edit all of it. There also might be a ton of video. I’m not sure how much I took. Oh, and some recordings too. I was one busy, electronic gadget girl!

I did take a few hours to just read a book, did a couple sketches of Java, and spent many hours just staring into the fire (occasionally thinking about jumping into it).

Yes, I’m still busy in house hunting hell. I thought I had found my cozy cottage only to find that the basic structure appears to not be up to code and although it seems fine now anyway, it’s too risky for me to deal with possible resell issues down the line. I’m in mourning.

But rather than dwell on that loss, I’ll take you along on my mini-escape.

This was the view of Lake Superior from our campground. The waves crashed all day and night and I loved it!

Java thoroughly enjoyed the lake too. I mean, does this dog love water or what?

Java took a break from her water antics to pose on the rocks.
And appeared to be utterly taken aback by this lurking boulder. 
And of course, there were sticks.
And after all that, Java took a well-deserved break back at camp.

Okay, I’m warning you — lots of picture. We got more snow and it produced many photo opportunities. It didn’t start out so lovely — snow blowing and stair shoveling = not fun. But it turned out okay. Although, as I sit here with my aching shoulders and back, I’m considering one of those power…

Where Did Spring Go?

When I saw my neighbor plowing the end of his driveway with his heavy duty snowblower and he looked like this: I knew it did not bode well for me with my itty, bitty snowblower. And I was right. The snow was so wet, it was like trying to push your blower through a slushy….

Down With Grit

Well, the weather was not so bad today but housecleaning called. My friends have this thing about food textures that bug them; I can’t comprehend this. But I’m that way about my house. Grit crunching underfoot is like biting into tinfoil with fillings! And the Java hair floats everywhere! It lands in sinks! On tables!…

“It’s a common belief that positive thinking leads to a happier healthier life.  As children, we’re told to smile and be cheerful and put on a happy face. As adults, we’re told to look on the bright side. To see glasses as half full. Sometimes reality can get in the way of our ability to…

  2. Lori – Yes, still looking but it’s slim pickings. I think the government housing stimulus sold a lot of houses in my price range in April and not much has come on the market since then.

  3. Great getaway! Yes, I think that Java loves water! Did she ever come out of it while you were there?

    We once had a dog who would find boulders just barely under lake water. She’d swim to them and stand on the boulders, appearing like she was standing on water. Oh, I miss her.
