Thursday August 30,2007 Holland, Michigan



Well, yesterday was another great day and we did the Dune Schooner Rides in Saugatuck. Now after living here 25 years we had never done that and it was fun. In fact I think Larry and I will take the grandchildren this weekend. After our thrill ride we went into Saugatuck and did some more shopping and then went to Cranes Orchard for lunch. Before we had lunch Jim managed to sit on a bench in Saugatuck and get "Bird Poop" all over this pants. He thought we were teasing him but finally after Larry taking a picture he was convinced . The apples are just starting to come in and they will be picking on Saturday. Linda wanted to get some Tulip Bulbs for her Mom so she and I went to Veldheers Tulip Farm. Everyone else thought they should go back and take naps. My friend, Clare came over around 5pm and we visited with her until around 9 pm. when the mosquitoes were running us inside. Some of you know Jackie Edmonds my dear friend in Virginia. Her father passed away yesterday. It is bitter sweet as he had been ill for sometime and was really tired and ready to go to God as he told them on Sunday but I really am struggling with not being there for her. Today has been another beautiful day and the weekend promises to be the same. The Parsons and Mathneys have gone to visit Windmill Island and we will meet them later for dinner at a new restaurant on the water and then check out downtown as they have music and entertainment on Thursday night. The Parsons are leaving tomorrow morning and we will just have a quiet day and wait for the arrival of Noah and Kate. Of course we will be glad to see their parent and Isabella our newest grandaughter whom we have not seen since June. She is now 4 months old and weighs 15 pounds. Hope all of your are enjoying our blog. Oh by the way I do know that some of my pictures are upside down but I am working on changing them.
