It amazes me how I can wake up to downpouring rain and then have the day just turn to beautiful blue skies, white cloud and pleasant temps. We drove over to Leland, Mi (Fishtown) and had a stroll down main street to the waterfront and of course it was time to eat. We found The Cove overlooking the water and sat out on the deck. We could see a freighter on Lake Michigan just moving along like it had a the time in the world but I am sure it was moving faster than it looked. After lunch we just walked and got some smoked fish to have for "Happy Hour" today , came back through Suttons Bay and shopped a little more. Then we rode out to the Old Mission Point Lighthouse , General Store,, which had a gentleman who loved to talk about northern Michigan and I could have listened all afternoon. We managed a stop at the RV Resort to change clothes and go and meet Janice and Ralphs friends who live here in the summer and in Naples in the winter. Larry and I had met them 2 years ago when we were in Crystal Lake at Naples. Joanne lives on Grand Traverse Bay and Tom has a home on Elk Lake that has been in his family since the 40's. They sleep at her house and spend time at his. Neither family wanted to give up the property and I can understand why. We went to dinner with them and again ATE too much. Today I plan to do LITTLE. It is my down day to get rested up to be able to enjoy Ally's two oldest children next weekend in Holland, Mi. We travel on down tomorrow to Ludington for one night and then to Holland until Monday Sept. 3rd.
