8-18-14---We decided to have a visiting weekend in North Michigan. If you follow the blog you know we're moochdocking at our friends house in Houghton Lake, Mich.. We decided to use this camp as a base and just go visiting from here. This past weekend we did a trip to Vanderbilt, Mi. and visit my friend Fred and his family. He just did a second retirement. He bought a 5th wheel and travelled to the N.E. last month to sample lobster. Of course he had stories to tell! I've known Fred for decades and his 2 sons and families came over. It's hard to believe the boys are in their 40's ! We all did a lot of reminiscing and catching up. Fred BBQ'd and we had some corn on the cob, camper style, and sat around for hours til it got too chilly out for all of us.
Sunday we drove down to Grayling and caught up with our young friends, Rob & Amber, who were doing a DJ Karaoke gig, at a nice, out in the country, pub called Dingmans.
Michigan's summer weather has been weird this year. It's been more like fall than summer. Low 70's in the daytime and 50's at night. Our furnace and electric heater have been used most nights. We can feel our “Florida” thin blood being tested after 5 years of snowbirding. Even the die hard Michiganders are commenting on the coolness. There's even been a change of colors in the trees and we're seeing a few leaves falling already. Michigan had an unusually long winter and a cold one last year. I wonder if that's going to happen again.
We're probably gonna stay here til after Labor Day. We still haven't made any solid plans, other than South, of where to go from here.
REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY !!
