It is summertime in wind-down here in Frankfort, which is a big multi-generation family town. Because school is starting soon, weekends are still bustling and busy, but week days are quite a bit quieter. Today is Sunday and warm; so our street is already parked full of beach-goers and bikers.
This week my sister Joan and husband Bob were here with us from Wisconsin. They came across the Lake on the Badger car ferry, leaving their car on the Wisconsin side. Unfortunately, for one of the few times in recent memory, the Badger had mechanical problems and was five hours late crossing the Lake, so the start of the visit wasn’t particularly auspicious. However, it was uphill from there and we had great weather which allowed us to jet ski and swim in Lake Michigan and loll around on the boat and generally have a great few days. Attached are pictures from the visit, including Bob on the jet ski, an event the skeptics said “ain’t going to happen”. It was a bit wavy when we had the jet skis out, so roaring around at 40-50 mph was wet and wild. We will have stories to share for years to come.
We have the rental house until Saturday, September 4th and plan to have fun our final week before moving onto the boat for Labor Day weekend. I expect we will play some golf and hit the beach and jet skis….the usual life style here in Frankfort. We are pondering what to do for a few days after that before we start for home, and are having fun as summer begins to wind down. Cheers to all.
