TWO MORE SLEEPS

Heading West

We've had a busy time over the past month or so

You can see 

'through my eyes'

 what we've been up to

Curt celebrated his 38th birthday

Mount Clemens MI

Beau at Fighting Falcons Camp

Beau's grandparents

His biggest fans!!!!

Back to Phoenix

Chatham....birthplace of Joe and I

We went on a ghost walk with friends Peggy and Charles

One of the homes that is haunted!

The sail boat race went right by the cottage

I forgot to put the 'new' bag of birdseed away

The racoons had breakfast, lunch and dinner!!

Each morning I check out the flags to see where the wind is coming from

Wind out of the south........warm

Wind out of the north......cold.....well.....not cold but then again some days were mighty cold

The lavender was out in full bloom

We were there to celebrate Ken's birthday

Even though I am 'retired' from photography when friends ask if I would take photos of their family I have no hesitation in saying

I'LL BE THERE

I said to the grandchildren

Be silly!!!!!!!!!!

Leah said to Nana and Grandpa

KISS

Mugan's family

Don't you just love it!!!!!

Happy little children

Janette's family

WOW

Many many shades of colour over the summer

Home Sweet Home

Joe spent the summer in his workshop

Wine barrels from Ruby Blues were transformed into chairs and tables

MAGIC

When we have overnight guests they may or may not stay in the Bunkie

It might be Joe and I and oh yes.......

GWENDOLYN

It will be overflowed with grandchildren next summer when the family is home to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary

Oh my gosh!

Where did all this stuff come from????

Well...........

Years and years of living in a home 

We've made two trips to Stratford dropping off  furniture for Curt and Christine

On a good note......

We have now downsized the storage unit three times

We are making progress!

Another wow

Do you recognize this hand?

I'll give you a clue

It belongs to the man who made space cool again

Breakfast at the Hatfield Marsh dock

Curt and Chris Hatfield

The Windsor and Chatham gang came down to the island for an afternoon of fun and laughs

Crazy weather

One spoiled dog lives in this cottage

Long time friends Don and Nancy

We were in their wedding party some thirty six years ago

Don and Joe were partners for over thirty years

The wee baby is their granddaughter 

I was happy to have my camera in hand for the rehearsal of Lesley and Andrew

Great Nana

Next we were on the Duc heading out into 

Lake Huron

The whole gang

Here comes the bride

The photo says it all

Two sisters of the Bride

Two new baby girls

LOVE IS GRAND

We brought over my Mom's bed that had been in storage

Evening on Lake Huron

Arizona party at Ken and Devonna's

The Wallet

Curt was fishing off the end of the dock when his ball cap flew in the river

He immediately dove in to retrieve it

However

He forgot he had car keys and wallet in his pocket

He got the keys but not the wallet

I'm sure 15 minutes went by before he grabbed a mask and flippers

Into the river he went

Would you believe he found the wallet sitting on the edge of the drop off into the channel

about 50 feet down river

Cheers and clapping took place!!!!!!!!!

Good job Curt

Our sunflowers

Funny

Beau spent one night at the cottage

You should have heard the hooting when he dove in the river

It is a bit chilly even if I do say so

A nice warm blanket!

Main camp for the Fighting Falcons

McMorran Arena

Port Huron MI

Last night we went over to the River Crab to celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary

Friends Don and Nancy and Beau joined us

A lovely evening

Well folks the flags are down

Until next time..............

Ethan and Garen........

Granny and Papa will soon be there
