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!

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...
