My last post was about spring and here I am talking about summer!! Those of you who live or have lived in Michigan know that this is something that happens many years in Michigan. Little to no spring before summer starts full tilt. We are just grateful for some warm temps, sunny days and cool nights to sleep. We are easy to please!!
Breakfast with Grandpa is in full swing with our first trip in the stroller after breakfast to walk Mike to the store. Finnley is a sponge with words and colors and continues to amaze us with her grasp of everything. She is such fun!
First picnic on the deck complete with sidewalk chalk which she has discovered marks on everything including Grandma's pants!! Mike and I are not the most handy of people but we did manage to hang two swings on the tree house/sandbox/picnic deck/swing set that Patrick and Duane put together for the cabin. We were very proud of ourselves...now all we need is the grandchildren to push in the swings!! We hope to have both in Michigan soon...more on that later. Seamus is walking, running and climbing according to Timothy and is a handful to keep up with is only fair...right???
The Lilacs are in bloom and smell just wonderful
Mike and I drove up to Burt Lake last Friday to meet visiting cousin Eileen from California and cousin Sharon from Michigan. It was lots of fun with many stories told and lots of laughter.
So here are the start to summer pictures...a selfie on the deck with Karen, Barb, Mike, Dave and Geof. Happy hour in full swing! Also my pre catching fish picture, just a practice...a friend always holds his fish and puts his rod in his mouth as I have done. Then you can see how really really really big his fish is in relation to the rod. No fish for me last night but it was a beautiful night with lots of mosquito action. We have a bumper crop this year. We are staying the night and will go to TC early in the am.
Love to all Kathy and Mike
