May Update

Hard to believe that this month is almost over.  It had been pretty wet and cold up until this weekend. Things are slowly starting to dry out and the weather is starting to be normal for this time of year.  We have two weeks to finish things up for JJ's graduation party.  Invitations have been sent, there is not turning back now.

We have painted the dining room, living room and kitchen.  Would still like to get the master bathroom done also.  Tomorrow I will start working more on the yard and garage.

We attended Honors Night last week.  JJ was Magna Cume Laude.  Very proud of him.  He finished his last day of school yesterday.

Magna Cume Laude!

Next week is his final Choir Concert and Commencement.  Last week the Choir went to State Festival.  They had the highest score by a choir ever.  Their instructor has been selected to do the State Honors Choir.  They are really awesome.

We celebrated Mother's Day as always.  We brought my mom out for the day on Saturday.  Then I put together the Mother's Day celebration for Michelle's family on Sunday.  We ordered Panda House so no one had to cook.  It was a good time.  Dawn and Reuben also move all there storage stuff out from our room above the garage.  That room is another project we would like to complete before the party.

I have not been on the bike in over a month now.  The break is good for the body to heal after all the health issues from this winter.  I will get back at it after the party.  Not sure if I will even do a race this year.  I do have a project started for the carbon 29er.  I purchased a set of 27.5 wheels with plus tires and will set that up next month.  Hopefully by the end of June I can get out for a trail ride.

 I give them a B+


Michelle came across a great deal on a new camera.  It is a used Nikon D51000.  It is in excellent shape and the price was right.  So the old Sony is on eBay now and looks like it will sell.  Plan on buying a lens for Sports Photography before the summer is up.  Hopefully I can go to a bike race and test it out.  

I think that brings things up to date.  See you in June!

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...

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...

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.
