Florida bound

Tonight I am in a Hampton Inn in Lake City, FL.  I am on my way to Cape Coral.  Allison came along with me so I wouldn't have to drive alone.  Larry drove another car and is in Orlando tonight.  He has a meeting there tomorrow and then will join us in Cape Coral.  We drove about 800 miles today, we were in 5 different states today.  It is a first for Allison since she has only driven/ridden to Kentucky to Cave City before.  It is still cool here in FL, only 52 degrees but "warmer" than back in Holland.  We will all be back on Sat. night.

It't Monday again

It's a dreary, rainy Monday but I can't complain.  We have had some really nice weather and an especially nice weekend.  Larry went with Travis to Silver Lake on Saturday for his bachelor party.  They went riding up in the dunes with Jeeps with some of Travis' friends and cousin Brad.  Sounds like they had lots of fun.  So Jamie and Allison and I had a girls night out and had dinner downtown at 84 East then went bowling and then back to Jamie's and chatted for a while then watched the movie "Fool's Gold."  It was fun and entertaining.  Jamie and I had kinda "hung out"earlier in the day running some errands that we both had to do but it was nice to spend some time with her too.  Yesterday Larry and I just had a nice day relaxing some and then he got the bubblers in down at the dock and the lines taken off the posts.  Better to do it on a nice day than to wait for cold rain or snow!!

Hello

I am just here to say hello to anyone who looks to see if I've updated my blog.  Hello!!  Melody says I should put some more pictures on here so maybe I will sometime soon.  :-)



OK, so here is a picture of the Charlevoix lighthouse when we took the "woody" boat for a ride a few weeks ago. It was a nice night!!

October already?

Wow, I can't believe October is here.  The time goes by so quickly.  

Today we are getting ready to head back to Holland but we will be back in Charlevoix next weekend for Applefest.  After that I'm not sure if we will make it back before Christmas.  We are hoping to come back between Christmas and New Years with the kids to do some snowmobiling and the kids want to ski and snowboard.  Sounds like fun.

The week went fast here but I did get to do some reading and crocheting and also saw our friends here a few times.  So, as usual the time flew by and I didn't do all I had hoped to but I'm not feeling bad that I didn't do more so that's good too.

It is definitely fall weather, rainy, cloudy....... but a few peeks of the sun here and there.  The trees are turning color and we've seen some pretty reds and yellows here and there this week.  Should be even better by next weekend so I will make sure I bring the camera.
