Fall really is a beautiful time to be in Michigan. We had a few cool nights in the 40s followed by several 90 degree days, but the rest of the time the weather has been great -- high 70s/low 80s during the day, high 50s at night, and abundant sunshine!
One of my favorite fruits is in season . . . and it’s just about time for apple-picking!
Too bad Nicolas isn’t here with us – he loves this time of year – but he’s finally enjoying some nicer temperatures in South Carolina, too! We’ll save him some apples, and I’ll make him a pie when we’re there for a visit!
I started back to work on September 1st (temporarily, at least) and Bryce got started with his online classes. We’re getting our doctor, dentist, eye doctor, financial planner, hairdresser and vet appointments all taken care of . . . and Bryce has a new look!
He didn’t get to any MSU football games this year, but he did get to one high school game and he’s got a couple more that he wants to go to.
He took the ACT again, and he has one more college visit and application to do, and then we just wait & see.
He’s back into his workout schedule, and happy to have a basketball hoop in the campground . . . and even other guys around to challenge him once in a while!
We’ve had lots of family get-togethers, and are helping my Mom and Tom’s Dad get some work done around their houses. Tom is also doing some work around the campground to pay for our site, so that’s a bonus – and it keeps him out of trouble!!
This is our third year here at Camp Lord Willing, and we’ve settled in pretty comfortably!
There’s a really nice group of seasonal campers here that we’ve gotten to know pretty well, so we’ve been enjoying quite a few social gatherings – steak roasts, group dinners, campfires, and yesterday we all went to a local bar for their weekday special – half-pound burger, fries and a beer for $5. Quite a good deal, and it tasted good, too!
It just so happened that Wednesday is classic car night at the North Side Bar & Grill, so we were able to walk around and admire the cars after dinner.
There were a lot of nice cars,
and the cars guys definitely enjoyed themselves.
It was a beautiful night . . . and I didn’t have to come home from work and cook! We may have to do that again!
We’re enjoying our time here in Michigan, and getting lots of things done, but our time is quickly winding down and it will be time to head south again!
The temps are supposed to stay in the comfortable range for the next few weeks. After that is anyone's guess.
