More blogging!! Yeah.  Two days in a row.  Yesterday afternoon some new friends of ours came to visit us in Charlevoix and spent the night too.  Larry knows James from YPO and he is also working with him on some of his turn-key projects.  James called Friday night and asked if it was OK if he and his wife and 4 kids came to visit and spend the night.  So they arrived a little after 1pm on Sat. and stayed through about lunch time today.  The kids are 10, 8, 7 and 5 - 3 boys and one girls.  It was a houseful, especially when we are not used to having that many little kids around.  But it was fun too to get to know James, Vonda and their kids.  They had a blast playing with the Wii and the Wii fit last night.

Actually we suggested Juleretts for them for breakfast this morning and we skipped out to Bay Harbor to see our friends Karen and Jerry Nixon.  They have a condo in Bay Harbor and had been up there this past weekend but had to leave to go back to the Chicago area early today so it was our only chance to see them.  Jerry has lung cancer and will be starting some new treatment next Wed. so we didn't know when we might get a chance to see him again depending on how the treatment goes.

It has cooled down now and feels more like fall but the past week was some of the best weather of the "summer" so we really enjoyed it a lot.  We got to Charlevoix Thurs. night about midnight but enjoyed the great day on Friday by taking the Hacker for a ride.
