 Monday

More visiting with family.

Kathy getting her feet wet.

Colton, my great-nephew. Travel Trailer in background is Jeremy and Shellies (my niece). They live in Battle Creek but come to enjoy family at the pond many weekends during the summer.

View looking back up towards Mom's. Yes, that is an outhouse right, and it gets used.

Lots of the grading work to develop the pond was done with this old dozer. My Uncle Richard did some grading with it the same day he died. It is a "lawn ornament" that will be there as long as Mom is alive, and maybe even after.

I bought new coach batteries and made an appointment to have them installed Tuesday AM on our way north from Coldwater.

Kathy and Cindy (one of her sisters)  went shopping over at the "Amish" store in Sturgis, MI.

Tuesday

We were on the road early. We arrived at the battery place at 8:15 and were out on the road headed north by 9:15.

Interstates in Michigan were better than those in KY & IN. We stopped for a break at a nice rest area.

Not sure what is happening in the photo below. The first two trucks are big wreckers. The first wrecker is towing both the second wrecker and the red tractor on the left.

We pulled in to Houghton Lake Travel Park at 1:15. Kathy has done several loads of laundry. I took the mattress cover over to the campground laundromat to wash and dry it, it is to big for our RV washer and dryer. $1.00 for the washer and $0.25 for 15 minutes in the commercial size dryers.

All sites here are pull thrus, easily long enough for our coach and car. The only problem is that if you don't unhook, and pull through the site to the next roadway, you need a LOT of sewer hose. A little tree trimming would also be a good idea.

They have a pooland kids were in it having a ball. They also have a nice playground, horseshoe pits, a volley ball net and shuffle board courts.

Today's high temperature was 74 and tonight's low is forecast to be 52. We are loving the cooler temperatures.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
