Full Moon Morning!

I woke up early this morning and felt rested so I got up.  It was around 6:00am.  While getting a fire started I looked out the front window and seen a beautiful full moon.

Had to go out and take this picture.

I was working on laundry when I heard some noise.  Brendan came down and said good morning and let the kittens out.  These kittens are just full of energy!

Yesterday was basketball.  Brendan played real well.  He had several shots, just missing getting his first points of the year.  He is doing so much better than last year.





Michelle's parents made it to the game then we all went to Applebee's after.  After eating Michelle went and did some shopping.  I took Brendan to Dairy Queen for dessert.  We got home and I did some cleaning and got laundry started.  I helped Michelle unload when she got home.  She picked up her new elliptical machine.  She also picked up stuff for Brendan's science project.

After getting everything together we went outside to do Brendan's science project.  He was putting mentos in different types of beverages to test the reactions.  It was fun!



After this excitement I headed for the basement to prepare for the bike Expo And Swap Meet on Sunday (today).  I put together a spread sheet so I know what I have and put prices on it for easy reference and pricing when I get tot he Swap Meet.  I accumulated a lot of stuff over the last year while doing upgrades to bikes.  The Swap Meet is again being held at the Fenton Brewery.  I am meeting Raymond in Birch Run and then we are riding together.  I am also taking some soap to see if I can sell any of that.

Time to make some breakfast and get ready to go.  Enjoy what is to be a very sunny Sunday!

My Dad

My last post was from Michelle and my anniversary celebration.  The day after we returned I received a call from my mom.  My dad was not doing well and needed to go to the hospital.  Michelle and I went to their house and we all took dad to the emergency room.  We had known for some time that he had Pulmonary Fibrosis for which there is no cure.  He was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit later that day.  This would turn out to be his final journey. While in the Intensive Care Unit he received outstanding care from the staff at Covenant HealthCare.  Their compassionate care can not be equaled anywhere.  Dad's personality and belief in his creator also helped the staff and us through this difficult time.  During this time Dad was more concerned about us than himself.  He knew that soon he would meet Jesus face to face.  That was his comfort.  I made a promise to him that I would take care of mom and my family, just as he had c...

Summer Vacation Day 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather.  We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing.  I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride. I set off east to ride toward Rapid River.  I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures. Dunes on the edge of Gladstone. This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision. The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name.  I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us.  Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up.  I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock. I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this. This is a Gobi.  An invasive species of the Great Lakes. After a few minutes I started back to the house.  On the way I started to have some chest pain.  After showering it had not let up. ...

Summer Vacation: Day 8, Marquette

Day out started out cool, cloudy and windy.  It would stay like that the entire day.  After Michelle got up we took a little walk in the park by the bay.  It was very cool and returned to the house.  The plan for the day was to go to Marquette to visit Raymond and his family and have dinner with them. I received a text from Raymond that informed me the weather was not good there and it had not been for the entire week.  It had been very cold and windy.  He told me to bring warm clothes and we would probably be inside. We arrived at there location just after 3:00pm and it was cold and windy.  They told us it had been worse earlier in the day.  After talking for a while Angel started to make burgers and hot dogs on the grill.  We walked down to the beach with Raymond to discover that the beach was not really there.  The water has been so high this year and the waves were coming in so hard there was no beach.  They said they h...
