vacation research is the best kind of all
We're going to be spending next week at the Guyot (in-law's in-laws) family cabin on Lake Superior near Sault Saint Marie so I've been looking up all I can find about the area sight-seeing-wise and history-wise. Wikipedia is what I'm loving for this job (there is enough water in Lake Superior to cover all of North AND South America with a foot of water! Wow!) plus Hunt's Guide to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It's very candid and plain spoken with lines like, "And that's not all that this flat, mainly swampy part of the eastern U.P. offers."
I've been looking around online for info about Ojibwe culture and history from that region and have found a few things, but only enough to give me a taste for more. Who's got a link for me?

supports and blueberries
Heather Luxion and I just started an Allergy Support Group over on facebook, so if you are in need of such a thing, come get with us. I don't really know how to have an allergy support group, I just know that I need one. I know about allergies. And I know about support. So it will probably work out fine.
In other news, blueberry picking season has started here in Zone 5. Yeah! The girls and I had a very good time picking today and having the whole farm experience. All you city folks, time to get out here on the farm and pick your own food! Come on over!
