Boil up some hummer food, clean and fill the feeders, take out the trash, clean out the fridge, finish up all the laundry, pay the bills, balance the check book, order grain, order teat dip, roll up the change and take it to the bank, pack the snorkels, fins, poles, tackle boxes, grab a stack of books at the library, indulge in the latest Nora Roberts (brought to me by the Farm Side, thank you), bandaids, Skin-so-Soft, Off!, dog food, dog ropes, canoe? (no, we'll come back down and pick that up if things are quiet on the lake; no sense getting swamped by the maniacs) charge up some camera batteries, drag extra hay up to the horse yard, Frontline on the dogs, don't forget the can opener, leashes, life preservers, remember the butter, hotdogs, macaroni, spaghetti sauce and home made jelly, bring along shampoo and flashlights and blankets....and oh, heck, where is that list anyhow!??!!!
We are off to camp tomorrow for a week, hopefully including some fish. Take care!

Is that your house? I love it!
Hope you have a great trip - happy Friday the 13th!
Hi Marti, yes it is, wild huh? Thanks for the good wishes.
Thanks, cubby, I wish I could leave comments on your site, but for some reason I rarely can. We are getting high speed in a couple of weeks and maybe then I will be able to.
What a great house!
Hope you have perfect weather the whole week!!!
Sweet summer time! A week beside the water - perfect. Hope you come back to retrieve the canoe. There is a certain Zen - a peaceful alert feeling that comes from sliding across water.
Hi AMWD, thanks, we love it too...and are hoping for good weather, peace and fish...
Cathy, you are right, we can glide right up to deer and clutches of baby mergansers. Sadly, however, there are some real loons in the next cabin (and I don't mind the winged kind, although we have those too) and they have been known to dump canoes....
Good morning Friers family!!
I always enjoy your blog, and this weeks's editions were really extra special. Indeed, your 7 wonders are all things you can't buy... and with the kids all home, these are "the good old days" everyone will remember in the ages ahead!! Good for you folks!!!
Thanks so much boomer,
We really enjoyed your visit with Dave the other day. If you see him you can tell him Liz remembered the name of the bull (Carson) before we made it to the gate. It was a real pleasure to speak our favorite language (Holstein) with you guys...you can bring him around anytime you want to talk cows. lol
Have a good trip- think of us while you are enjoying yourself!
Oh mercy, I am so envious! Have a blast and take lots of pictures.
Hugs,
Laurie
Hello from an "out west" farm woman
I know you're on vacation... good on you for making time to go. I know how hard it is to just "get away" for a week.
When you get back... contact me as I know of an awesome forum for farm girls... as if you need more to do (grins)
Shari
That is a GREAT picture!

Have fun camping!

Beer! For crap's sake, BEER!! You gotta think of your husband.
(I hope he drinks beer.)
Thanks joni and laurie. We had a nice time as always
Nice to meet you Shari, I will be contacting you and thanks for the kind words!
Thanks Matthew, there were barely any...didn't get bitten by anything but one small spider!
Marilyn, thanks so much.
OHTS, sadly he doesn't, being a Mt. Dew kind of guy. He also doesn't care for fishing or camping so he and our oldest stayed home with the animals.
