Old Friends are the Best

The rains and cold of northern Michigan never stops the fun from happening.  We spend another wonderful weekend at the cabin with friends, food and of course crazy weather.  Dan and Elaine McMahon, our friends from college, joined us on Friday after golfing at Tree Tops near Gaylord.  The weather was crazy with sun, rain, black clouds, wind, and cold temps(50's)...and then it repeated itself every hour.  So Elaine and I watched the weather reports and finally found a couple of hours when it looked like no rain and some sun.            

                                                                                   We kayaked and went up stream

 for about an hour ...a first for Elaine who did wonderful.  It started raining just as we got back to the dock..great timing.  The cold was chased away by a hot sauna.  Wonderful!!

So what is the picture to the left you might ask??  Mike and I were looking for the Scotch in the bar closet...Dan thought that was pretty funny..Ha Ha.

Dan and Michael...friends from college and debate days at Wayne State.  Oh the stories they tell about each other.

Saturday night Gene and Patty LaFave joined us for dinner.  They live in TC and went to  school with Elaine in Detroit.  It was a great reunion with lots of crazy catholic school stories..My ears were burning!

                                      So the title of this blog rings true..Old friends are the best!!
 Mike and I are looking forward to next weekend when Timothy will be home for a wedding and to see his new niece, Finnley.  I am sure you are all disappointed not to see a picture of her this week...stay tuned to see lots in next weeks blog.  Fall is officially here and the trees are starting to change color...I love the fall!  Apples and squash with apple cider...fantastic.    Love and a big big hug to all of you.  Kathy and Michael
