Grandkids !!!

Nick and Jessica really enjoy the pool and spend a lot of time swimming.... Nick is 6'4'' so the 6' deep end is no problem for him.. They came down to Florida with us for a vacation... It is different having teens in the house.... We had a great time visiting family in Michigan and Wisconsin for 5 weeks....

Yesterday we took them to the Ft Myers beach.. Jessica REALLY loved that.. First time they have seen the Gulf of Mexico...

Vacationing in Michigan and Wisconsin

It has been a while since I have blogged... We are now in Ludington, Mich. visiting with Tim's sisters and brother... Big pot luck tonight... leave in the morning to visit my sister and brother... head to northern Wisconsin to visit daughter and family for 6 days.. Attend a 50-60th Reunion for Spring Arbor University and then head for Florida and Home !!!! We have been in Mi. almost 2 weeks now and attended our church camp in the thumb near Hemans.. Loved it !! Always so good, meet old friends and The Spirit of God was there !!!! Plan to take our grand daughter and grand son back to Fl. with us for a 3 week vacation... It has been HOT in Fl. but also warm here in Mi.... They will LOVE it and it should be fun for us too...... Looks like a lot of people do not blog as much as they used to... Enjoy !!!!

This a blossom from our big beautiful hyacinth bush... They come in many, many different colors...

This is what the pool looks like now but you should have seen it a day ago.... It had a leak so we had the pool doctors here.. They said it had to be drained so they could fix it... They emptied 13,500 gallons of clean ,warm water in our back yard....

The deep end with the ladder...

The repair man in his bathing suit.. at the deep end... It is 6 feet...

I sure missed my swim that day !!! We are finishing things up here so we can leave Sunday after church for Mi, Wi. and Tn... Have a lot planned for the summer..... seeing ALL the grand kids....church camp, attend a 50th Anniversary , Spring Arbor College Reunion, bring our grand daughter Jessica back to Florida for a vacation.... Hope we see YOU in our travels...

Sister Donna and Becki flew out this afternoon and have already landed at Metro and on the way home.. Isn't it amazing that you can go from southern Florida to Detroit in 2 1/2 hours in the air???? We had a good time with them being here even thought they spent a lot of time fixing things at the new house and meeting their neighbors and checking things out... electrical, water, a,c. lawn sprinkles, mail. etc.... We did swim and attend the 'Ring of Fire' at Broadway Palms Dinner Theater... They really enjoyed that !!! Also went to some nice restaurants... a nice change from fast foods... Now Tim is busy finishing the hurricane shutters and some last minute repairs as we leave for Michigan for the summer in less than 3 weeks....The weather has been 90* every day lately but I hear it is also very nice in the north..... good for them !!! Not many comments... Hope someone is reading this.. CAROLE

Another week or so have gone by.. I really have been busy.... but then haven't we all?? My sister and her daughter Becki flew down from Michigan on Monday to move into Donna's new house here in the Cape.. only 3/4 mile from me !!! Yippee !!!! It is fun having them here and we work at the house in the morning, swim every day to refresh.. it is 90 *.. and go out to eat every night... Life is good !!! She has bought a beautiful house on a lake !!!! Now for furniture and items to furnish it... She also has a beautiful house in Michigan so they will only vacation here......
