Another Sunrise

Saturday I wasn't sure that was going to happen. When I wrote my previous blog that morning, I was hit by the mother of all sinus attacks. The right side of my face was in a vice and I was going through Kleenex like there was no tomorrow. And I thought that might be the case. As the day wore on, my right eye drooped almost shut and I opted out of the grocery run. We discussed options such as calling my son in Illinois to come drive me and my camper home. I Googled Urgent Care facilities in the UP (there aren't many) and whined a lot. I put some chicken soup in my crockpot and about 6:00, sat down with a bowl of it. I could only eat about a third of it and threw the rest out. I borrowed some Ibprofen from Harriet, took two with a glass of milk, and finished the milk with a brownie. By 7:00 the pressure in my face was gone and I was only blowing my nose about once or twice in an hour instead of every three minutes. I watched a couple of mysteries on public TV and went to bed. Sunday morning I was a new woman. Whether it was the soup, the pills, or the brownie, something worked and I lived to see another day. Whew.

So we proceeded with our planned journey and managed to get our rigs out of the craters in our campsites and on the road. It was a beautiful day and the drive along the Green Bay shore and up through the peninsula to Tahquanemon Falls was delightful. We had lunch in a lovely rest area along the way. Our campsites here were a bit of a challenge to get into but not as bad as the last ones. Tall pines are scattered throughout the campground, enough for some shade but not blocking the sun entirely. A small campfire with an adult beverage finished the day.

Today we plan a road trip over to "Big Mac", the Mackinac Bridge, and possibly Sault Ste Marie. We also need to visit the falls. By the way, sunrise here at the western edge of the Eastern time zone isn't until 7:25 but at least I  can expect to see it.
