My bags are packed.......
I'm taking a little road trip......
To the Northwoods of Wisconsin........
I'll be doing a lot of fishing........
A little tanning, in moderation of course......
The trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at Barb's Cafe, for the oh-so-delicious potato pancakes on Fish Fry Friday........
I'm sure we'll have a campfire.........
But we'll be careful, because I wouldn't want to make Smokey the Bear angry....
And speaking of bears, I always hope we'll see some, although it's pretty rare..........
I'll do some reading down on the dock.........
I plan to do lots of this...........
And this. I'm very nervous though. I'll have a few house guests staying in our home while I'm gone.......
So I hope I don't come home to this..........
I won't have any internet access, so I'll miss you all, and I'll catch up with everyone later!
It sounds like fun!! Have a great time!!! Looking forward to reading about your adventures!!

Hi Carol Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful post. As always I love to come over and see what you are up to.
Camping in Wisconsin? What fun. Nothing like a wonderful night out in nature with a campfire, stories to share and how about some smore's? Ooh did I ever love those. They were a treat for us when we were kids.
I can't wait to see pics of your trip, stories about the surrounding and ofcourse all the goodies that you find in the Antique stores. Yeaaaaa!
Have fun, be safe and see you soon.
Country hugs and much love, Sherry
Carol,
ReplyDeleteI am sooo jealous!!!!! LOL I hope you do all of the above....did you check out the Mom in the book with the kids and the DAD....she looks a little off! LOL LOL That drawing should be a in a female romace novel! HA-Ha! Have a great time! And buy a lot fo fun stuff!

I'm with the other two comments that mentioned the Elf book photo. No way was that on the book! She had to be photoshopped in somewhere along the line from a Harlequin novel!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful, relaxing time!
ReplyDeleteI have just a wee word of warning for your about our beautiful state...the skeeters are bigger than the bears this year - be careful out there! :)

Oh Carol how fun! I've only been to Wisconsin once but I loved it. My husband's family is from there. We were in Green Lake, if I recall correctly, not too far from Racine.... It was so beautiful and green and the gardens were to die for. Here in California it is brown, brown, brown, brown. Wisconsin is green, green, green! I hope you have a marvelous time and we'll miss you and I can't wait to see what you've found when you get back and to hear your tales.
ReplyDeleteYou have loads of fun now! Read and relax. And try to avoid the bears.

ReplyDeleteOooh, have fun on your trip! I'm checking in from a blog break to see what's been going on in my absence, and I will probably get back to blogging about the same time you do.
ReplyDeleteDo you know, Carol, that I am in lust with that cute metal picnic basket in your header??? I am! It always makes me smile.
Have fun on your trip and find lots of shiny objects!
