Hi-ho, hi-ho, off to camp we go.....

What an absolutely gorgeous weekend!!! We went camping at Yankee Springs Recreational Area just south of Grand Rapids. This area is absolutely beautiful. Jim and Loretta and Tim’s sister and brother-in-law joined us. The weather was absolutely perfect. Lizzie loves to camp, she cried uncontrollably on Monday when it was time to leave. I think she would be happy if we lived in our camper year round. Initially she was disappointed that we were not at Yogi Bear (Jellystone), but she over it especially since she had Auntie and Nana to entertain her. I think she grew gills and fins (Daddy's little crappy) after spending so much time in Gun Lake and Lake Michigan. We have quite a bit of camping planned for the summer, our next trip is to Yogi Bear Father’s Day weekend, Higgins Lake over the 4th. We are leaving our camper at Yogi Bear for the whole month of September, it will be Lizzie’s dream come true. Sometime in the summer we plan on venturing up North to visit my dad just west of Cadilliac. Someone once told me that “camping ain’t easy,” but it is a great time! Tim and I agree that the camper is one of the best things we ever did for Lizzie because she enjoys it soooo much and it’s a great family experience!

Jobs.......

Well, I love reading everyone's blog, but I often wonder why doesn't everyone post all the time! And now I know, there's just not enough hours in the day!!
Recently I repainted my master bedroom and I remembered how much I dislike painting. And to think there are people who do this for a living!! And that lead me to think about the things I have done for employment..... 1st there was Big Boy-the salad bar and brown polyester!! Good stuff!! Thru high school I had other fast food jobs and eventually ended up at Meijer my first year of college. The job-not so great but that is where I met the love of my life!! Then came my x-ray career highlights included barium enemas, squishing boobs (mammograms!!) and plenty of blood and other bodily fluids. When I was doing mammograms all the time, women would say to me all the time "how can you do this all day?" Which after several years of that I asked myself the same thing and went back to school so now I pop pimples, freeze warts (make small children and some adults cry!!), cut skin tags out of EVERYWHERE and I do mean EVERYWHERE!! But I also make the itching stop and remove skin cancers. And I do love my job!!!
I think we all have a calling and god bless each and everyone who answers that call!!

I finally did it!

I have been reading blogs for the past year and finally decided to start my own!
Actually the reason I did it is so I can post comments on Tammy's site!
