WOW, MAY IS COMING TO AN END, AND GOT ONE LAST TRIP IN THIS WEEKEND. HAD TO GET SOME ITEMS IN MARQUETTE TO MAKE A FEW REPAIRS. AS NORMAL, HAD TO STOP AT WAGNER FALLS FOR A BREAK, NEVER BEEN THERE, AND SEE MORE OF THE U.P.'s GLORY.
AND NOW, WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM ELMER, ONE LITTLE BIRD NOW IS BACK IN ACTION, KEEPING AN EYE ON MY DESK. I JUST HAVE TO PICK OUT A PIC FOR IT TO HOLD.
WITH JUNE KNOCKING, I HOPE IT BRINGS IN SOME WARMER AIR WITH IT, WE WILL HAVE TO GET SOME MORE TRIPS ON THE CALENDAR, AND DON'T FORGET TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BOBBER!

LITTLE PLEASURES
MADE THE TRIP TO CHEBOYGAN ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, BOTH DAYS WENT WELL. BUMPED INTO DEBBIE AT THE GLEN'S STORE AND SHE IS DOING WELL. TOLD HER THAT MY NEW HAIRDRESSER IS ALSO NAMED TAMMY. AND THAT LINDA ALSO OWNS A STORE. DEBBIE HELPED ME ALOT WITH SOME OF THE ISSUES IN MY LIFE. I WILL ALWAYS BE GREATFUL FOR THAT. IT WAS NICE TO BUMP INTO HER.
THAN I PICKED A TWIG OF LILAC FROM THE FARM, TO ENJOY ON THE WAY BACK TO THE U.P. AND THAN A STOP IN MAC CITY FOR GOOOODIES. YUM YUM!
OH YES, I ALMOST FORGOT REELING IN OVER 15 FISH THE OTHER DAY. AND THE BLUEGILL WAS THE NEETEST. BROUGHT BACK TO MY MIND, THE DAYS SPENT ON PINE LAKE WITH MY GRANDPARENTS.
WELL I STILL HAVE SOME MAC CITY GOODIES TO WORK ON, SO KEEP YOUR KITE IN THE AIR AND YOUR STICK ON THE ICE.

NICE WEEK
DANCING, YARD CLEAN UP, MORE MUSHROOMS, COOK OUT AND PERRY VISITING HILLBILLY HEAVEN.
DANCING LAST THURSDAY WAS NOT ONLY FUN, BUT WON A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS PLAYING THE KENO GAME. WAS JUST GLAD THAT THE LADIES WERE GETTING OVER THERE COLDS ENOUGH TO GO.
DID SOME YARD CLEAN UP AND STARTED CLEANING THE FLOWER BEDS. OH, SPEAKING OF FLOWERS, THE YELLOW PIC I HAVE ON HERE IS CALLED A TROUT LILY. THERE ARE YELLOW AND WHITE ONES! ONLY SEEN THE YELLOW SO FAR.
WALKED TO THE FOX AND EAST FOX RIVERS MEETING SPOT ON SUNDAY AND ALSO FOUND MORE MUSHROOMS. POSTED GRAM CARROLL'S NEW SIGN OUT FRONT FOR HER, IT WAS REPAINTED BE A CLOSE FRIEND.
PERRY HAS BEEN UP THIS WEEK DOING MISC. JOBS AROUND HILLBILLY HEAVEN AND STOPPED BY TONIGHT TO HAVE SOME DONUT FRAGMENTS AND AN ICE CREAM CONE. HE ALSO WISHED CINDY A HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND GAVE HER SOME LIQUID FOR DRINKING. LOOKS LIKE HE IS HEADING BACK WEDNESDAY.
WITH ALL THE MUSHROOMS, HAD TO CLEAN UP THE GRILL AND THROW ON A COUPLE STEAKS, GARLIC BREAD, VEGGIES AND SPUDS. FLO & ROGER HAD SOME HOT DOGS. WHILE THINGS WERE COOKING I WENT FOR A LITTLE WALK TO SEE THE FLOWERS BLOOMING IN THE WOODS.
WELL, HOPE THIS WEEK IS AS GOOD AND LAST AND WISH ALL THE SAME.

TIME FLYS WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN
BOY, HAVE THINGS BEEN JUMPIN! GRAM CARROLL AND UNCLE DICK GOT BACK FROM MARCO ISLAND AND I HAVE HAD MORE TRIPS THAN I CAN REMEMBER. BUT I WILL GIVE IT A TRY.
FIRST OF ALL, HAD A LONG WALK BACK, ALMOST, TO HOLLAND CREEK. AND A PAIR OF COOPERS HAWKS, NOT LIKING US THERE AT ALL. THEY KEPT JUST OUT OF SIGHT AND WAS RAISING A RACKET, LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELEIVE. AFTER THEY HAD US FAR ENOUGH FROM THEIR NEST, THEY TOOK OFF BACK TO WHERE THEY FIRST CALLED US SEVERAL NASTY NAMES. I AM SURE THAT THEY CALLED US EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK, AS IT IS SAID.
THE OTHER THING WAS, THE SIGHTING OF ALL THE SPRING FLOWERS, WHICH MAKE THE LONG WALK WELL WORTH WHILE, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE EXERSIZE THAT WAS GOTTEN.
NOW THAT ALONE WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE THE DAY A GREAT ONE, BUT WHAT A WAITING FOR US WHEN WE RETURNED WAS JUST AS GREAT. MOM HAD MADE US VENISION MEAT LOAF WITH ALL THE NORMAL TRIMMINGS THAT SHE IS KNOWN FOR. AND OF COURSE I GOT RIGHT TO IT AND GRABBED THE END PIECE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, EVERYONE WAS STUFFED TO THE BRIM.
BIRTHDAY TIME FOR JOY, ALSO ARRIVED, AND A WHOLE LOT OF SPLISH-SPLASHING WAS GOING ON AT SPLASH VILLAGE IN FRANKENMUTH. AND THERE WAS ICE CREAM IN LITTLE COLORED BALLS. THERE WAS CHICKEN, NOODLES, DRESSING AND OF COURSE THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. BUT GRAMPS HIT THE DESERT BAR 3 TIMES. YES I ATE LIKE A HORSE AND LO AND BEHOLD WALKED OUT THE DOOR AND THERE WAS A HORSE, SO HOW ABOUT A NICE RIDE TO LET DINNER SETTLE? JOY SAID YES!!! AND AWAY WE WENT. THAN MORE SWIMING AND A WALK IN THE DARK, TO SEE ALL THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AT BRONNERS.
THE NEXT DAY WAS MORE WATER PARK FOR THE GIRLS AND GRAMPS MISSED BREAKFAST AT THE CRACKER BARREL, JUST CAN'T GET MOVIN LIKE I USED TO. I CUT OUT A LITTLE EARLY AND HEADED TO BIRCH RUN TO DO SOME POWER SHOPPING. NEEDED SOME SMALL GLASSES, NEW SHOES(THE WALKING TYPE), CHECKED ON MINTS(NOPE DIDN'T HAVE THEM), SOME NEW PILLOW CASES, A COUPLE OF MOTHER DAYS PRESENTS, AND LOOKED FOR A NEW HAT, FOR THE SUNNY OR RAINY DAYS. AND COULDN'T GET OUT OF TOWN WITHOUT A 1/3 POUNDER HALO BURGER DELUXE WITH OLIVES. SURE GLAD I WENT TO THE DOCTOR LAST WEEK!!
THAN ON TO PETOSKEY, TO OFFICE MAX, AND A COUPLE OF BUSINESS STOPS. ALSO MET VERN TO PICK UP MY REGULAR VAN. THAN BACK ACROSS THE BRIDGE WITH A STOP AT MY OLD SECOND HOME.
THAN BACK TO EAT SOME OF THE BEEFSTEAKS THAT WE FOUND ON OUR FIRST WALK AND MORE TONIGHT, TO GO WITH THE GREAT FRIED CHICKEN DINNER LEFTOVERS.
WELL THAT IS A FRACTION OF THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS AND SINCE I AM NOT A WRITER, THIS HAS WORN ME OUT FOR TONIGHT. SO ENJOY THE PICTURES AND BE BACK LATER!
