We are finally settled in our "permanent" home for August - a mobile home park that allows RV's in vacant sites - near relatives in the Jackson, Michigan area. We moved from our originally planned campground after one night - not a place one would want to "live." Roger found out - well, actually, he already knew it! - when Mama ain't happy no one is happy! We are really enjoying having Mom, sisters & brothers close by for frequent visits.
We rode our bikes 12 miles!!! on the Falling Waters Trail yesterday morning. It is an unused railroad grade that has been paved for walking and biking and runs from Concord to Jackson. Beautifully done with signs, benches and rest areas. I thought I wouldn't be able to walk today but my legs are fine - it's my "hiney" (as Samantha would say) that hurts!
We went out on Judy's new pontoon boat last evening around 5 pm - the water was as smooth as glass. Roger & Judy did some fishing - correction Roger "fished" and Judy "caught" - much to Roger's chagrin - the score is 4 to 0! Mom, Marilou & I polished off a bottle of wine and just relaxed!
We are going to the Jackson County Fair tomorrow - will see the 4H exhibits and all the entries trying to win a ribbon, then eat at one of the church food booths. Blast from the past!
Roger and his brothers, Duane & Bill, are busy getting ready for the big tractor drive this week. They leave on Friday at 7 am and return on Saturday around 3 pm. Per tradition, they will camp out on Friday night and the "women" will bring "pot luck" for dinner.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly;
Good - being near family for the first time in 30 years!
Bad - sharing a car!
Ugly - the MOSQUITO'S!
