Every Memorial Day weekend, my husband and a group of friends and relatives, go deep into the Moose River Plains for a weekend of camping, drinking, cussing, card playing, hiking, eating, fishing and general male bonding activities.

I spent this past week with some pretty extraordinary people. I learned quite a bit and was able to catch up with old friends. I learned that whenever I worry about something that I am suppose to do, God goes before me. I learned that there are people out there that are getting their time…
