Fall and Winter 2020

We enjoyed several days in Hot Springs with Carlos and Megan in October. So nice to spend quality time with them! We played golf while they went hiking one day and we rented a pontoon boat and toured Lake Hamilton another. Happy hours, delicious dinners and cards!




 November and December were spent in Houston for birthdays and holidays! Probably the last year for Halloween for the girls but Megan will always have fun!



Kyle and Heather have purchased land to build a lake house on Lake Buchanan near Burnet, TX so we travelled to see it. It will be lovely when finished but probably a long project to complete. 



Heather got a paddle board for Christmas - a great toy for the lake house!


Heather was busy making and selling "Hot Chocolate Bombs" for Christmas gifts! What a big hit!


Roger's birthday gift was a fishing trip on Lake Buchanan and what a fun day! The fish were biting and the whole family was reeling them in! Still have some in the freezer!




We came home in January instead of staying at Travelers World in San Antonio. Safer from COVID in rural Michigan and we spent the winter remodeling the basement into a family room/suite. Still waiting for furniture but it looks great!

Summer 2020

Don't know why this never got posted! Senior moments!

 It has been a quiet summer here with all the COVID restrictions. We have stayed home and primarily just spent time doing outside activities. 

We sold our Buick Enclave and bought a new Buick Envision - downsized and love all the new safety features.



Finally, in late August we went to Charlevoix and Petosky with Ray, Mel, Judy and Marilou for a few days. Camped for 2 days and then Roger and I moved to the Edgewater Inn for 2 nights. We rafted around Lake Charlevoix, played golf and rented electric bikes for a day. Stayed safe by being outdoors! The Edgewater is right on the small lake that separates Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan so you can sit on your balcony and watch all the yachts and sailboats come and go. Relaxing!

We just got back from Mackinac Island with our friends Lee and Cindy. We stayed at the Grand Hotel and played golf; road bikes around the island and had a great time. Check that one off our bucket list!
