A Weekend at the Wob

Tony and I made a long-overdue trip up north to Fish Camp this weekend. The weather forecast didn't look promising but we had some much needed work to finish so we braved it and made the trek up. Friday evening traffic wasn't so bad and after a stop at Halo Burger (have you had a QP burger with green olives? YUM!) we pulled in around 10:30p.m. It was chilly, but that up north chilly that you don't really mind. We had to have a new pump installed last week (after Tony had spent a weekend there with no water at all, I thought I was homefree with a new pump - not so much!) We turned on the good ole' H2O to hear a swishing sound, clearly meaning a crack in a pipe somewhere. Turned it off and used hand sanitizer that night - Tony climbed under the trailer numerous times on Saturday and finally fixed the pipe - running water again!! The bathroom has been our on-going project and it was a happy day when we Tony pulled out the blue tub, sink & toilet - all to be replaced with white fixtures and some gray & white tile board in the shower. We still don't have the shower plumbed but the toilet works like a charm (if you have been there before, you no longer have to gingerly flush and hope it works!!) A Bad Chad Deerhorn pizza (the best around) and a campfire rounded out Saturday, along with a spotting of four baby Robins in a nest on our deck. Willow loves to be up north and has taken to being a "hunting" dog in the woods - she mostly stayed on track this weekend but last time she spotted a turkey and Tony had to do some swift running to catch her in the brush. She has a bit of her brother Bogey in her - she's not as fast but she has the same mischevious side about her!! The weekends up north always pass by too quickly, mostly because there are continuous projects to complete (we also raked, mowed, tiled a kitchen countertop and put the ceiling in the bathroom). It is such a refreshing feeling to be in Northern Michigan and sometimes I forget how much I love it - must mean another trip needs to be on the calendar soon!!
