Sunday Update

 
So we all survived Thanksgiving!  On Friday Michelle went out shopping in the morning.  I stayed home with Brendan.  After he got up he went over to the neighbors and brought the boys over to watch the Lego Movie and play.  I did laundry and some other things around the house.  On Saturday Michelle went out shopping again, this time for my mom.  She got home and I took the Green Machine out for a short spin at the park.  Michelle worked on Mom's scrapbook and I helped her finish it up.  We then went our and spent some time with mom.
 
Sunday arrived and I loaded up the Green Machine for the ride home from church.  I had a nice 12.7 mile ride home.  Pushing the Vee Snowshoes is not easy on pavement or gravel, especially into 20mph gusts.  Very good work out.  Will be changing the front ring to the 30 tooth before Saturday.  Saturday is Global Fatbike Day!  There is a ride at Sleepy Hollow that I am planning on attending with Raymond.
 
Our renters also moved out today and Michelle and I went over to the house to clean.  We were pleasantly surprised to find them cleaning the house.  It was looking great.  They had not got to the basement yet so Michelle and I took the power washer and wet vac to the basement and went at it.  We got that done and headed home. 
 
Michelle and JJ made Turkey Ala King for dinner.  It was awesome!  Great ending to the weekend.
 
Watch for posts regarding Global Fatbike Day!

Easter

Easter has come and gone.  It was a very busy couple of days.  We started out with Brendan getting very sick Wednesday night.  Luckily he was feeling better on Friday and we were able to enjoy the holiday.. Mom and Dad came out on Saturday.  We met them at Backwood's and had a late lunch.  We then came back to our house to color eggs and visit.     Mom's Work   Mom also brought this with her. This was my grandmother's Lutheran Hymnal.  It was given to her on her confirmation.  It is over 100 years old and in German.  Mom also has her bible.  She is giving this to Amelith Lutheran Church.   We all had a really good time and it was a full day.    On Sunday we went to church and then to Michelle's mom and dad's for a late lunch and the annual easter egg hunt.     The kids had fun as always.   We had a really good meal then Michelle and I took a 2+ mile walk...

Independence Day

Another busy weekend and celebration of our country's independence.  I got a short ride in on Friday morning.  We then were preparing for a wedding.  Barb and Steve, a couple at our church were getting married and the ceremony/reception would be at Dawn and Reuben's house.  Reuben performed the ceremony and I was asked to do the photography.  This worked out great as I had purchased a used Sony DSLR camera on eBay and got to test it out.  It was a very nice ceremony and celebration with our church family and friends.   You may kiss the bride!   We then stuck around and all of us went to the fireworks at the Clio Park to cap off the evening.  We got home late and went right to bed.   I slept in a bit on Saturday morning and got up to watch the start of the Tour de France.  It was a good stage with a sprint finish and a bad crash that took Mark Cavendish out of the race.  I then ventured out on a 23 mile ride o...

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day.  Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up.  I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up.  We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm.   Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest.  We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. A lighthouse for Michelle.  A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area.   Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace.  We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In.  However, after arriving the place was packed.  So we went to B.C. Pizza again.  After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...
