Madie and Papa in lake
Welcome to Michigna
Back of farmhouse we lived in Mason Mi in 1973=74 Been added on to and redone a lot by the Osterlee family we rented from.
Now you have to understand it has been HOT , HOT in Virginia and every place else that I can think of but this day was brutal. We traveled thru Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, more West Virginia, Pennsylvania, more West Virginia and finally arrived in Cambridge Ohio for an overnight.
Due to "little creatures" being in our fuel tank we climbed some mountains rather SLOWLY. Finally Larry had enough so we found a truck stop and he changed the fuel filter and we were on our way.However the heat was getting worse and even with the top air conditioners and generator on it was really hot in the bedroom due to the back unit deciding not to work plus the heat from the engine. We finally got it cool enough to sleep without too much difficulty and then on Saturday we headed out for Pardee Lake in Howell, Michigan to visit with our friends Bryon (Barney) & Laura Rogers. We got set up and then went for a boat ride and had dinner and on Sunday we went to church, farmers market and got our first sweet corn of the season. Went out to lunch and then came back to the lake for an afternoon of boating and swimming. Madie had a great time swimming and jumping off the pontoon boat into the water. Another good dinner and then it was off to bed.
Today, Monday we are going over to Mason, Mi to see our friends Judy and John Switalski. we haven't seen them in a few years and are anxious to be able to visit. 2 years ago their youngest son, who was Ally's age, died very tragically and we have only talked with them not seen them . We will be there until Wednesday morning when we go to Holland and put down "roots" for a week or so. Madie is excited to see where her Dad grew up.
Will post pictures later.
