Hi everyone, We had a busy summer travelling from Illinois to Lac Du Flambeau Wisconsin. It is about 8 hours from our home in Glen Ellyn. Richard inherited a lovely cabin on the Big Crawling Stone lake and we went up for 3 weeks with Michelle's children, our grandchildren, and had fun swimming, fishing and going to Pow Wows. Pow Wows are Native Americcccan gatherings where they do traditional dances and lots of other culturally interesting activities. It was a great time. Yomi Christopher caught 25 fish, all returned to the lake, but fun. Savannah caught a frog and immediately named her. She stated"It's fun being a kid". I do not know if the frog agreed. Richard painted the little house behind the cabin and we did alot of work making it our own. I cooked, read, and enjoyed the peacefulness of being in the North woods with family. I also did some artwork with Savannah. She loves to draw and so do I. Our dog,Wacipi had fun running free until neighbors asked that he be reigned in.I would post photos but have no idea how to do so. Richard is up there now, building bookcases, and doing repair work. I am teaching nursing again here in Glen Ellyn at the College of DuPage. I love being with the students and aharing my philosophy of compassion and caring. These old bones do not move as fast as they used to but hey, they still do the job. Blessings and Love to all the family, Mary Gayle Selfridge aka Grandma Gayle xxoo
