James and I had a wonderful visit in Michigan last week. He was very excited about all the things his Grandpa had planned for them. In fact, he woke early and before fully opening his eyes he put on his ball cap and said, "Mom, I'm ready to go."He went for a walk with the dogs, picked tomatoes, apples, carrots, potatoes, zucchini, cucumbers and one huge rutabaga (see picture below) and fed their goldfish. Then later that afternoon went fishing, for a jeep ride and had a visit with Uncle George, Aunt Meg and Addison. James and Grandma even went swimming a few times in her new but chilly pool.
At Aunt Ginny's suggestion we went to see the old house and property on Farley Rd. The place looks great and it was wonderful to get to walk around there again. The trees are just beautiful and we even tasted some of the apples. Then on Friday Colleen and her family came and the kids had a nice sleepover at Grandma's house.
On Saturday we had a beautiful day for barbequing and visiting. It was great to see Aunt Margaret, Clare, Aunt Pam and Uncle Emery and Ralph. We ended the evening by celebrating Aunt Ginny's and Colleen's birthday. James and I had a great time. It was great to be able to visit everyone before we leave for Alaska. Mom and dad were great to put on another holiday spread for everyone- thanks so much!
