Red Wings Game

I'm way behind on posting updates as you can see. These pictures are from a Red Wings vs. Edmonton game we went to on February 7. We blew them out 8 to 3!!

Happy New Year 2009!

The holidays are behind us for another year. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year's. We spent Xmas eve at Kerry & Dave's house and then headed over to Diane & Bob's on Christmas day for dinner. I planned on taking lots of pictures to post here, but the battery in my digital camera died. Kerry took some though and posted them on Baby Grace Lynn's blog, so I stole a couple to post here. Sorry, Kerry!

This first picture is Gracie with her mom's camera on Christmas morning. Dad took the picture. Grace is quite the ham and loves to have her picture taken.


This picture shows Gracie in the pretty dress her mom picked out for her.


Happy New Year everyone. May 2009 bring you good health, happiness and many blessings.

Campground Winter Wonderland

Bob was at the campground on Sunday, December 7, and snapped these pictures. Look at all the snow - and it's not even winter yet!

Thanksgiving 2008

Becky and Jim hosted Thanksgiving at their home again this year. We always have such a nice time getting together. Everyone made something to go along with their turkey and that gave us women more time to talk (like anything could ever prevent that, eh?) The men spent their time watching football. The Lion's had their worst loss ever this year so I'm not sure they enjoyed themselves, but their spirits picked up when we told them it was time to eat. :-)

Enjoy the pics!

BOO! Belated Halloween Post!

Our campground had a Halloween party for the kids at the end of September and it was loads of fun. People decorated their trailers and golf carts, the kids had pumpkin carving contests and won prizes for best costumes, and of course they got to go trick-or-treating. We also had a DJ dressed like an Elvis impersonator and a haunted house.

Our friends, Linda and Gary, came up from South Carolina and spent the weekend with us too. The weather cooperated and we had a wonderful visit, along with some great campfires. The guys went crazy chopping wood!

Enjoy the pictures.

Visit to Pittsburgh

Gary and I visited the kids in Pittsburgh during October. It spite of everyone's busy schedules, we managed to see all the kids and grandchildren, including Eddie, the newest member of the family. We all congregated at Kim & Keith's house for dinner (yum!), and the weather was so gorgeous we actually got to sit on their patio.

Enjoy the pics! Gary Sr. isn't in any of them because he was behind the camera. If anyone has one, forward it to me so I can add it in. Thanks.

The Great Flood of 2008

The weekend of September 13th most of southern Michigan got torrential rainfall from Hurricane Ike. Gary and I were at the campground when the rain started on Friday night and by Saturday morning low lying places were already flooding. We packed up and headed home and heard on the news the following day that we had a total of between 6-10 inches of rain. (It wasn't any better at home either.)

We learned later in the week that the chain of lakes at our campground ended up overflowing the banks and many areas were flooded. Pontoon boats and paddle boats broke loose and started floating around by themselves and several docks were completely underwater, but the damage was minimal and no one got hurt. Thank goodness.

Anyway, here's some pictures to give you some idea how soggy we were!
