Parting Shots

Today we put Heather and the girls on their bird

to San Antonio. Now there's just this big hole left
in my day that used to be spent having fun. It was

almost like I was on vacation too. That time just flew

by. I think we managed to do all the fun stuff we could.

Here's some parting shots of what we did this week....

Getting ready to pick our blueberries. I think we ended up with 40

pounds. Blueberry Cobbler for dessert that night. And Heather made

it herself (I thought she couldn't cook...lol). Mine are in the freezer.

Sailing on Lake Michigan. Friends Good Will is way too cool. It was

an interactive kind of cruise too. They had just about everyone that

was able pull ropes, hoist the sails and turn the ship about.

We couldn't have asked for a better day. High 70's, slight breeze and

lots of sunshine. That's the crew below....

I think my Mom is gonna miss the noise too. But I think there are

plans for Christmas. Only I'm not gonna wish that one to hurry up.

Last, but not least is a picture of my bedroom all cleaned up...I have

Melanie to thank for that. My friends and family know what I mean.

I didn't do a before picture because its too embarrassing.

Friends Good Will, A sailing we will go!

Big fun day for us. We booked a ride on the Friends Good Will
ship, sailing at 3 pm this afternoon. I am so excited and so are
Heather and the girls. Taking my Dramamine as soon as I can
so I don't get dizzy and fall of the ship. With my luck, anything is possible....
I'm bringing my camera to take lots of pictures! Not many days
left and Heather has to go home. It will leave a big empty gap in
our days when she does.
But I'm not gonna dwell on that now, we have better things to do.
Last night we made molds and beads. Some of the coolest stuff.
We used antique spoons and ancient coins. Now everything I look
has a whole different meaning, any possibilities for molds?
Its really addicting. We are gonna finish them tonight...

The Friends Good Will is a replica of an 1810 square topsail sloop,
commissioned by and built for the Michigan Maritime Museum in 2004.

IF...;^)

If IFS were skiffs, we'd all go sailing!
