I will try to make this a short post. We are still in Detroit with family and have kept a low profile these two weeks. This has given me a lot of time with my thoughts which have been a bit consumed with my own mortality. I posted last week about the passing of my …
We are still in the Detroit area visiting with family. No decision on when we are moving on. Hopefully tomorrow Al will change the brakes and rotors on the pick-up. He has been able to change the oil, install the new steering strut and we washed the 5th wheel. I am also waiting for my …
Whenever we come home to Detroit, we rarely do much of anything. In some aspects, this drives me crazy because I enjoy seeing, doing and exploring things. And there really are lots of interesting things to do in the area, whether it is a trip out to Stoney Creek to enjoy nature, venturing through downtown …
This afternoon my day took a shift downward as I learned one of my friends and a fellow MBC sister passed away this weekend of this damn disease. I had been thinking of her often lately for some reason and kept planning to contact her, but I would get distracted or it was not an …

Our morning started with the pitter patter of rain drops as we were waking from our slumber. And it didn’t stop! It rained long and hard and didn’t let up until late in the afternoon. Many of our neighbors bugged out and when it was all said and done, the RV park looked like a …
If you flip over the Michigan quarter, you will see a picture of this Pictured Rock National Lakeshore landmark, Chapel Rock. This afternoon we arrived in Munising, MI in the Upper Peninsula to spend some time at Pictured Rocks. After we got our campsite set up, we headed for our scheduled boat tour which is …
Last night, I was not able to post a blog because I was working with my brother on fixing up this site to make it prettier! Be patient with me folks as I am not a technically savvy person. As my little bro says, “It’s a learning opportunity!” But I have been excited to share …
