Happy Birthday Matt!

Today is my second to oldest grandsons birthday. Matt is the apple of his Dad's eye. Jen and Denny are so proud of their son. He has done very well in all his classes this year. Matt loves his new motorcycle and has been doing a lot of riding. We are proud of all your accomplishments. Stay on the right track. Your parents will guide you so you can succeed in all you do. Love you Matt!

Birthday s and a Anniversary

Today is Jen and Dennys 18th Wedding Anniversary. They are very devoted to making their sons life good and him a good man. He is lucky to have parents that are together working for the benefit of the whole family group. We love you both and congratulate you for making a loving home for your son. I was downstate and did not post the Birthdays for my sons Jim and Joe. They are two great men and we are so proud of them. They love their families and work hard to make their lives good. I see a little of my husband in each of them. We have been so fortunate to have children that make you so proud. All of you go forward and prosper. Don't be afraid to make the hard decisions. Someone guides us and I thank God for all of you.

Went Fishing

Today we went fishing on the Tahquamenon River. It was a beautiful day. We caught 7 clams, one stick and a Walleye. It was so relaxing fishing with the current pushing us down the river. Wish those clams and stick would have been walleyes. Had a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday Dennis!

Today is my husbands Birthday. He is a good man and father. He has made me and the kids feel safe and taken care of. He worked hard and his biggest achievement is to have raised six great kids. I like this picture because you can see the young kids and the span of ages. He has loved us all. He is a quiet man and does things to let you know how special you are to him. I'm so proud of you Dennis. You have made our life good and these years are very precious to me. Have a great day!

Rainy Day

We are getting a good soaking rain. I slept in because of the relaxing sounds of the waves, gentle winds blowing through the trees and tapping of rain on the windows. I usually am up very early because I can't sleep and this was a welcome change. Norm and Dennis went to the Soo yesterday so I visited with Sandy and the kids--Jackie's little ones are having a good time-went to the Senior dinner and visited with my friends on Taco trail. He has a Mosquito Magnet and it works great. Scary to see how many it kills in a day. They also built a green house. Many people have one up here because of our short growing time. I'd really like one. Mike and Joanne have one and they really like it. They have the grocery store in town--great steaks. The young eagles have been watching my bird feeders so the squirrels and the birds are in hiding. We will be working inside today. We are so thankful for the rain--we need it to keep our forests safe. Have a good day! Walking in the rain is fun.

Happy Fathers Day!

Dennis, you have been a very good Dad. You have worked hard and helped me raise 6 great kids. Your sons have gone on to be good Dads--they all love their kids and do the best for them as you did. Mike and Tom are still single but love their nieces and nephews and help with them when needed. Rich takes great pride in his girls and Ann has a good Dad for her family also. You are all so important. I'm so proud of you all. We come from a strong family group. It is a safe place to grow up in and know you are important and loved. Sometimes you won't be appreciated till they have kids of their own but do the hard things that will make them good people--it's worth it. With much love to you all from a wife, Mom and Grandma.

Morning Friends

I love to get up at sunrise when the dew is on the ground. My little animals and birds are starting their day also. The eagle flies by on his hunt for breakfast and the things that might be considered for a meal are on high alert. Life is sometimes cruel by our thoughts but it is the Circle of Life. Enjoy your day and take time to really look at the things around you--sky, animals, birds and most important people. Make someones day and you will make yours.

Hello

I found a parrot at a garage sale. It doesn't poop, need food or water and when you are done playing with him you just turn him off. Dennis thinks this is the best kind of pet. Miranda loves him. She dances with him and loves to make him talk.

Went for a Ride

Today we took off and took a ride to see the kids. There was a High Wind warning on the bridge and escorts were in place. The waves were really rolling. I'm sure glad we weren't pulling anything as the wind was pushing the truck and it is not small. The ferry was running to and from the Island and larger boats and ships were cruising through the waves. Have a good night--pleasant dreams only.
