Michigan or Bust




Arrived in Ortonville, Mich. last week. Staying at Clearwater Campground, 2 miles from where we use to live. We were able to visit our old home and spend some time with the current owners who have been there about 13 years. They've made many improvements to the house and it looks great! It's at the end of a 1000 foot driveway on 4 acres of woods and backs up to a small lake. We have many fond memories of living there. It is also the house where Matt was born!

We got together with Dot and Frank. They were able to see our new "home" and we went for a drive to Harsen's Island, Mich, in the St Clair River. Dot's family use to own a cottage on the Island, and Dot and I had a good time there in our younger days!!

Sue and Rod also came out for a visit. We made them go to the A&W drive-in and sit in the truck to eat. Such ambiance! We finished our visit with a trip to Cook's Farm Dairy. Nothing like eating ice cream and smelling cows at the same time! It's quite the experience!
