John and Pam from Glen Arbor stopped us from running away with Giselle. 🙂 After posing with the puppy, we headed up the beach and onto the forest… Read more »

Warmer weather is slowly moving in! Such a beautiful day, we did some yard cleanup, mowing and then I took a run around the two main mountain bike trails at Palmer Woods Reserve on Wheeler Rd. Fresh fish from Carlson’s tonight. Cheers!
Keith came out with me in the Jeep for a noon photo tour. He thanks everyone for their well wishes. He’s 88 and feeling, well, just ok.
