FISKLAND-ing again

Good morning,

We arrived at FISKLAND about 2:15 P.M. yesterday afternoon. We were very tired and still, we stayed up late for some reason trying to get caught up on everything. It was a good a satisfying trip. We did get much accomplished, but there is so much more to do there. It is interesting, we don’t really know how to describe each place. When we are there, we tend to call this place home and when we are here, we tend to call that place home also. Confusing sometimes when we call both places home in the same sentence.

Seemed weird not to sleep on an air mattress on the floor last night for some reason. The air mattress is really very comfortable to sleep on, but the getting in and out a problem. Especially in the morning when the lubrication system in the joints aren’t operating yet.

Still don’t have the water hooked up in the little house when we left. It sure is a befuddlement for me. At this point I really am stumped. Wish I had been around when it was installed. Also the water heater in the main house I have some reservations about. Betty left a lot of owner’s manual type materials, but none for the water heater in the main house, only the little house. I will bring more of my electrical supplies up this next trip. I want to get an outlet put in for the refrigerator as one of the first things. Need my extension cord for other uses. Leo sure used a lot of extra wire to do some of the wiring. Even if it is on the surface.

We have Bible study this morning, the main reason we returned yesterday rather than another time. Hope the sawmill is there too, although I have plenty to keep me out of mischief without that to play with too. After Bible study we will head to Green Bay with the truck to pick up some items necessary for Guds Nordtre. Probably better stop at the bank and rob it first so we can though.

For some reason, Margriet’s computer will not connect to the LAN so she is some grumpy, along with Brenda on the other side of the pond. Brenda has been trying to chat with her Mom too, but to no avail without an internet connection. We have tried several things, but no work yet. I also am grumpy, not only with it not working, but not being able to repair it.

Our little house which we probably will spend the winter in. The old refrigerator is laying outside waiting to be made into a flamable liquid "shed" away from the buildings.

The second picture is a typical home entrance for a Yooper - snow shovel and haul sled hanging and ready to use. A kerosene lantern is hanging close by too.

Time to get a-going.

In Christ My Saviour,
