PJ's PINES: SAT. & SUNDAY

Friday night we hit Cable WI, met Carrie and the family and had dinner at The Chamber of Commerce Tent for Cable WI - there was a pork BBQ with all the trimmings. It was quite a feast, then we came back to our campsite for a camp-fire. It was fun. We got up and met Carrie and the family at a breakfast of pumpkin pancakes and fixen's at the Cable Community Center. Shopped around Cable after because it was their "Fall Fest", so vendor's were all over the place, car show too. I found a hot pad that looks like a cupcake - thought it would be a good project for our craft sale. Also found earrings for my purple jacket. Jacket is at home or I would post a picture of it.
We went to our campsite for hot dogs, rainbow salad, chips and beans.
Stopped at a place called Berry Patch and found the most fun scarf for my teal or orange or yellow shirts.
Went to Carrie's Cabin for a boat ride, kids and Jim wet a line but caught zero. I am trying to remember where we had dinner Friday night but can't. Just remembered, it was at a resort and they had wonderful hamburger baskets, kids were busy with video games and we had such a nice time. Got home about 9:30, big day.

Sunday morning Jim and I went to Trinity Lutheran Church, it was Communion Sunday and it said if you are not a member please talk to the Pastor before communion so Jim did and he asked us if we were considering joining the Missouri Synod Church and Jim said no, so the pastor asked us if we wouldn't mind not taking communion. The sermon was all about how we are all God's children, but they didn't want us taking communion so when communion time came around, we left. it was the end of the service anyway but it made me feel unwelcome and I guess unwanted. They were so friendly when we arrived. It was such a contradiction.

Carrie and family were outside in the parking lot as we came out so we took the most beautiful drive ever to a place about half an hour north and west. "Delta Dinner", we had a 50 min wait, can you believe Jim didn't mind at all. What a trooper. We all had coffee and sat at tables outside waiting. Fun breakfast and it's hard to find the words to describe the ride. Spectacular. Like nothing I have ever seen, the rolling hills and maple trees. Red, rust and so many shades of gold with green thrown in for show. What fun. Made a pit stop and I bought a "Tried and True" cookbook from a roadside store for 3 buck, it was from Hayward. Looks inviting.

We went to check out a campsite across from Carrie's on Namakogan Lake, beautiful place, I think we could make due with it. Wish John and Pam had kept their camper and we could all camp there. Drove back to Carrie's cabin and spent the afternoon, I pulled out the old knitting, I brought some with so I could make a scarf for my new jacket that is lavender. Weird color but it works, Great jacket that I got at a Goodwill for $4.

We came back to our campsite at 3pm, tired but feeling so good, good weekend with the family, I made a cocktail and a fire, found some great logs in the woods and called my friend Sharon and had a nice chat. Jim went on the computer, he is trying to reach Richard but couldn't raise him. Sometimes Richard let's his phone go dead. Forgets to charge it.

Carrie and family stopped by our campsite on their way out of town. Carrie caught a big Northern fish from her dock by having a blue gill on her line and the Northern was chasing it and Dave netted it. What a hoot. It was show and tell time, that's for sure.

Jim and I had a nice steak dinner and we went to bed early. We want to leave our campsite by 8am because we are leaving today to meet some classmates of his a couple hundred miles east of here.
