Great Trip To Michigan



Kathy and I returned from our trip to Michigan this afternoon. We were gone from last Wed to today (Tuesday). We spent Wed nite in Westland with Kathy's sister and Mike. Then Thursday morning we headed up to St. Helen (Roscommon County) near Houghton Lake and spent the rest of the time with Pam and Mike at their old mobile home in the woods. Each day we took small "day trips" and cooked at home and went out to eat only once. I shot a short video of our day trip to the Upper Peninsula where we drove all the way up to Paradise and the Whitefish Point Bay lighthouse. We stopped at Taquaniman Falls on the way back and had a great day.


Before we left for up north we went to the dog shelter and made the committment to adopt a dog. He's (Quincy) is 10-12 years old and deaf and blind in one eye. He's a coon hound. I'll try to get a decent pix of him and upload it. Right now he's out on the screened porch because we just brought him home from the vet where he was neutered and he's a little nervous so we thought he should be left to rest out there. We've had to put an "E" collar on him so he won't lick the incision and dissolve the stiches.

Well, I guess the video was probably too long and didn't load up, I'll post some still shots later. Bye for now

Just Got In From Michigan

We just made it back from Michigan (Wed afternoon). We met Betsy and Bob just before the memorial service and then we all went. Good to see the family.

Then we went out to PF Changs for lunch with B&B and then back to Linda's for the afternoon. For dinner we met Dave and Judy Hudson (used to live on Negaunee) by Dave Hayden. Anyway, Hayden's at Eglin AFB in Florida, but Hudson's in Westland by Linda. We went and had a good fun time with old friends at a Coney Island.

Smornin' we just sat around and talked with Linda as Mike now has a job (after 3 years) and he had to work.

Bets, here's the airport info:
I looked at the map and we will be driving right through (in this order)

Charleston, WV
Charlotte, NC
Columbia, SC
Savannah, GA

So if you can get an inexpensive flight into one of these cities, that’s great!

We can leave as early as Thursday April 1st if it works better for you guys to fly on a “non-weekend”

Talk with you guys later,

Melnik Michigan Trip


Bets,

What are the dates you will be in Michigan?

Have you heard anything from the Baldwins about a memorial service?

We thought we would drive up one day, attend the service, have dinner with you and Bob and stay the night at Linda's house and then drive back the next day.


Let us know what you know,
