June 19, 2011: I remember when I was a kid and a time when I had to share my birthday with my dad on Father's Day! I was so angry that it just all wasn't about me. I was selfish in thinking that we should not be celebrating any other day than my birthday. Today, on my 39th birthday; I would be honored to share Father's Day with my dad. I lost my dad when I was 15 years old. If I could see him today and say something to him; I would thank him for the 15 years that I did have with him! I miss my father very much. I miss the smell of his Captain Black smoking tobacco coming out of his pipe. I miss going raccoon hunting with him in the late fall on very chilly nights and listening to the AM radio (usually listening to baseball). I miss the smell of his aftershave and his next day scruffle on his chin, I miss sitting in the bleachers with him at different sporting events; I truly miss him. So today, Happy Father's Day to Dennis Joseph Harmon, may your memory live on forever!
Now, it is my birthday today and it has been amazing already. Camille, Nikki and I went and received massages at Mass-ahhh-ge by the Lake, LLC (MBTL). Richard and Dianne Helms are amazing individuals and have a massage studio that other people would be very envious of. Dianne gave me my massage and it was so awesome and relaxing. Not only did I get a massage, but I received a BIO FREEZE treatment, hot pack treatments and aromatherapy all in one! If you ever get up this way in Two Harbors, you need to look up Mass-ahhh-ge by the Lake, LLC www.massagebythelake.com on Christianson Lake Rd.
Because it is my birthday, Sheryl had asked me what my favorite thing to eat is and of course I responded with: Pizza! I really think I could eat Pizza for every meal and it wouldn't matter what kind of pizza or what the pizza had on it....I just love Pizza!!!!!!! So we got to make our very own Pizza. Deanna stayed for lunch with Camille, Nikki and I. We made a pizza out of Sheryl's awesome sauce (which I want the recipe) we put onions, red, orange and green peppers, turkey pepperoni and we each got a piece of string cheese to put on our pizza. We used a piece of FLAT OUT! We seasoned it with Italian seasoning. I can not even begin to tell you how amazing the pizza was; and I really don't think it would have needed the string cheese! Now I am really happy to know that I will be able to make pizza again....I am dreaming of some black/green olives and mushrooms:)
Today, we are back to a house of 11! We have 3 new ladies staying in our half of the lodge; another Camille, Linda and Tara (who flew in from Indiana). The week begins again tomorrow morning....I am waiting for Krzysztof and Jacek to get here and see me.....I can't wait; that will truly be the best birthday present.
I got magazines and lottery tickets from Camille and Nikky and I won $13.00 yippee!
Until Next Time, PEACE OUT!
