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.

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...
