SUMMER!

To celebrate the 1st day of summer-

(or maybe by coincidence)

we headed west looking for this wonderful

little fish place that Jay & Shelly have been

talking about for years. 

We headed straight to the west and then went north

driving around a little lake we had never heard of

and winding back and forth through the woods -

A very scenic little drive..

We noticed a sign that said FISH about  the same time

we saw several cars parked along the road.

We Had Arrived!!!

A busy little place -

smack in the middle of nowhere!

 

No frills...just good, FRESH fish!

Mmm Mmm Good

We will be visiting again...

Then we continued north to Ludington for dessert

at the House of Flavors

(Moosetracks for me - a Carmelot sundae for Bob)

and of course always, always, always,

have to spend a little time at the water.

A lovely day......

HAPPY SUMMER!!



Planting the Garden......STILL

It seems every year finds us  putting the garden in.....LATE

Every year we say...THIS year we have to get it in earlier.

Here we are on June 19th just finishing the planting.

Here are some shots of .....today!

Bob getting a few swipes with the plow before we start planting -

we put in raspberries, blueberries, cucumbers, squash, turnips, beans...

Garden all planted, time to get S.C. in place as Overseer of the Garden

Finished!  The raised beds, the garden, the bird house and of course S.C.

I found a container of koi pellets - - the koi said...Mmmm  Mmmmm Good!

Went to the chicken coop for a visit.....

Wanting equal time ..... Taz gave a cute pose  :-)                       

VISITORS

So it seems that I am always a little behind on posting as of late....

Jay, Shelly and kids came for a visit last Friday on their way to Ludington.

Of course the weather had turned cold and rainy,

but thankfully the rain stopped so we could get outside to take some pictures.

First we all headed to the old chicken coop-

Where Levi proved the be the very best chicken catcher of us all!



We fed the fish and took pics in the barn - -

And then Levi found Toe-Toes

I think that boy would love living on a farm

with LOTS of animals -

LOVE at that SMILE!!!

Lucky 13!!

To celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary on May 29th, we headed to the U.P. 

We spent the night in Curtis on the 28th. 

(the first time we had ever been there)

I really loved this wooden walk along the river-

(I could see one like that around our pond)

We had to stop to get a picture of the May apples---

(Better known as Trillium)

The next morning -

we did a first time visit to the Tahquamenon River -

I took some pics where the river opens up to Lake Superior

while Bob talked to the Border Patrol guys.

Then another first time visit to Whitefish Point

Next we went to the Soo, where we watched the boats,

had lunch and an ice cream cone

THEN a stop at sister's before heading home!

The Dilemma

Sunday June 5th

Grandson Landon is turning 4 years old. Birthdays where not celebrated in the orphanage, but he has watched his brother and sister and dad celebrate their birthdays this year.....and has asked (on more than one occasion) "Landon's turn?"  So this is a big deal....

Also a very big deal -

Grandson Zachary is graduating from high school!

What to do...What to do

Bob dropped me off at Jay & Shelly's for the birthday party

Bob went on to Croswell for the graduation.
