A Busy August Week

We have had another busy week.  No overnight company this week, but none-the-less we had lots going on.

Monday we put the house back in order after a whole week of company, including little girls who loved the playhouse.  On Tuesday we played golf at Crystal Mountain again, this time with friends Phil and Sue from Midland.  It is their family we visited in Bear Lake in early July.  Attached is a picture of the golfers.  If you look closely you can see a deer grazing in the background….got to love a mountain course.

On Wednesday Bob and Marilyn from Williamsburg came to have lunch with us.  Bob is a member of my Kiwanis Club; he and Marilyn have a summer place near Baldwin, about 40 miles east of us.  After we said goodbye to them we drove to Traverse City for dinner with Kate and her family before their departure back to Seattle.  Mark’s Mom was there also; I think 2 grandma’s and a grandpa was a bit overwhelming for Caroline. But she and Lily made friends with a couple of other little girls, leaving the adults some good conversation time and it was a fun dinner.

Thursday we hosted John and Lori, owners of Jacobson’s Marina, for dinner.  It was good to see them away from their never-ending duties at the Marina and to learn a bit more about how they came to buy it just three years ago.

Friday night we had an awesome rainstorm; Saturday, we went to the Farmer’s Market and a huge art fair here in town.  And today friends Ron and Kay from Traverse City are coming over to jet ski and have dinner……as I said, another busy week in Lake Michigan summer.

Next week my sister Joan and husband Bob are coming for a few days, so stay tuned for more fun.  Cheers.
