Out of Touch

Just a quick note to let you know we will be out of touch for a few days. Currently at Long Lake, having a good time. But, Tuesday am, we will be headed for Canada for 4 nights - no computer, no cell phone! Back to the USA late Sat. Till then.....

Davison, MI

Just a quick post to update you some, sorry, no pictures. We have been having a good time. Last Thursday, brother Don & Regina, sister Janet & Bill, Granddaughter Paula, Bart, & 5 kids were over to enjoy meals, swimming, putter golf, etc. Also Thursday, fellow high school graduate Jean Ann, husband Dick came in the park, got the site right next to us. (Rich, they are the ones that visited Las Vegas 2 years ago.) Also, fellow high school graduate Dick Spike & Madelon are in the park, so we have had some fun catching up on our lives since high school.

I have done a little update on our itinerary. You will note that we have made Dr appointments for Oct 13th in Las Vegas. That's all for now.

History/Economic Info

Having seen Priscilla's posting regarding cost for books for a college course, and my comment on what my tuition was for college, we were reminded of an invoice which we have in our possession. And, in light of a new baby in the family, just thought we would share it with you. Probably no further comment is needed, enjoy!

Cousin's Reunion and Other Items

Other Items First:

My "Thought of the Week" is in honor of our government in action, especially the DO NOTHING Congress that just left for a 5 week vacation because they "earned" it - NOT!

Oh, did any of you identify Laura/Mom/Grandma in the school picture from a month ago? Haven't heard from anyone on that subject.


2 weeks ago, we were blessed with the birth of Great-granddaughter Kajsa. Congratulations Melissa, we love you both!


Cousin's Reunion:

Oh what a great time we had in Alden, near Torch Lake, in the yard of cousin Bruce & Dorothy. It was good to see their children & families while there as well.

So we had time to sit around & relax, take group pictures, go to Brunch at the Yacht Club, take a cousins picture by the shore of Torch Lake.













We also hit another "festival", this time it was Alden Days, with a parade, including the "band", kids activities, roast beef served by the Fire Department (hmmm, good), a quilt show, entertainment, and of course sales booths, etc.







One night, our entertainment included our own tree climbers,
Regina & Kayla. Way to go girls!








On Monday, we also saw Arlene's son Dane, his 2 children & puppies from Colorado. Hopefully the video of Dane playing with the "puppies" comes through ok.





We are now back at Woodlands on the Lake, relaxing for a few days.
