This weekend Owen took Ginny to hike on the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. He is currently in the Chequemegon National Forest (or thereabouts). Amazing how having one less child around alters my day. I definitely missed Ginny but it sure was more quiet around here. I did some reading and relaxing. Just went around at my own pace.
Of course, things abruptly came back to reality this afternoon as Ginny and Owen returned before church with much ado. They had a significant number of ticks on them, both deer and wood. Owen said he had been pulling them off in the car for the last 3 hours. Ginny had a few lodged in pretty good but she hung in there as we pulled them off of her. Or at least as well as a 4 yr old can!
It has been years since I have had to pull ticks off of someone and it seems I may have done it wrong......times have changed. We tried vasoline, heat, and acetone all of which I grew up with using. Now they say to just pull them out. Oh well!

I am glad to have everyone back together and for life to be normal again.
Thank you Lord for this little break and opportunity to BE with YOU!!
