How is life in paradise? Plenty of sunshine and pleasant, of course!
My son and his family came to visit us right after my last post on July 4th. They just left this morning to head back to Iowa. A great whirlwind visit. While we were able to share with them the peace and beauty of Michigan, we also raced to take advantage of every opportunity for a six-year-old and her little brother. The fireworks downtown, the pool, the various beaches, a farm and petting zoo, blueberry picking, the regular Grand Rapids zoo. In motion for 5 straight days.
And of course the Michigan culinary treats like Superman ice-cream.
And still having time for live music at our favorite brewhouse. The talented table side musicians were gracious enough to do a rousing rendition of “Wheels On the Bus” for our young ones. And for a little added excitement, witnessing an emergency Coast Guard boarding of a ship in trouble… taking on water.
Now we are taking a breath, then ready to explore and enjoy our Michigan more.. at a slower pace.
