Spring Update

This bike was displayed at Interbike.

JJ and I went to the Endurance Sports Expo at the end of February.  Alexander rode with us and we met Raymond at the Expo.  It felt like the old Expo's at Springfield Oaks.  They had a full house of vendors and it was really busy for the first three hours of the show.  We had a good time!

Did not sell a whole lot.  I ended up with about $50 after paying for my tables, gas and a couple of meals.  Raymond did not do well either.  He had some really nice stuff to sell.

The brewery was nice and they had some good beer and pizza.

Michelle and I spent our wedding anniversary in Houghton Lake.  We found a good deal on a hotel and spent the weekend there.  I had not been to Houghton Lake in around 25 years.   A lot has changed up there.  We did have a lot of fun!  It was a very nice celebration.

We had a great view of the lake (it was frozen).

 We went and seen a movie at the Pines Theatre.  The theatre was really cool.  It was very old architecture and all still original.  If you are in this area I would recommend stopping in for a movie there.

Last Thursday was a year ago that dad passed away.  It was also the last time I stopped into my old house.  On Friday we closed!  Now we can focus on our house. 

I will also be purchasing another bike now.  That will have to wait till the next post.

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...

Brendan's Last Birthday Party

So today we had another party for Brendan's Birthday.  We also celebrated MacKenzie's birthday today (hers was yesterday).  We had Michelle's parents here also.  This was about the 6th birthday celebration for Brendan.  Michelle made some really cool cakes for the two of them.   Brendan's Turtle Cake     Mackenzie's Owl Cake   Everyone arrived and we had a great meal and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game.  Very close game with Michigan pulling out the win in the last seconds.  There was cake and ice cream and the traditional Happy Birthday song.
