Getting ready

I thought that I would have posted more info by now, but man is it busy for us right now. The summer's are usually busy and this definitely adds to it. I have been buying lots of groceries, dry goods and canned, that sort of thing and packing it up. We want to bring as much in as we can, even though we do have groceries available to us at the Germansen Lake store. We can put in grocery orders there, and when Scott, the store owner goes out for mail once a week, he also gets the grub for us and any others. I'm guessing but I think that there are maybe 25 people that weather the winters out there.
So what else have I been doing since my last entry? I've registered our oldest daughter for home schooling. She will be in grade 1. Quite a bit different atmosphere from her peers, but I think we will do great, our science and phys ed aspect will be especially interesting.
I've been packing up clothes and the like, for the kids and myself for the seasons and weather conditions that we will face.(hubby packs his own) As well as skates, snowshoes, skiis, toboggans, soccerballs, fishing equipment, quadding gear, snowmobiling gear etc, etc. Even a hammock I bought in Mexico, especially for this trip. I look forward to a down day, laying back and listening to the waves even if there is a child or two arguing in the backround.
