Goodbye California, Hello Michigan

Joelle, Pieter and I before they took off for Arkansas and California. This picture was taken after we ate some awesome cheesecake....good memories of the Damsteegt Mansion. Even though Joelle and Pieter are gone I know that haystacks still await me on Sabbath!In August I went camping on the Pine River with some friends. This was my little campsite by the river. Rustic was the name of the game....and the raccoons tried to join in. Unfortunately for them we packed our food out every night so they were left fishing or digging for whatever else they could find.A very adventurous hike on the North Country Trail. About 8 years ago my family went backpacking on this trail. The only bear we saw this time around was Pastor Dan....a little grizzly but nicely shaven. hummmm....figure that one out. Bears are good trail guides unless they are hiding from the people.Everyone got off the river DRY! This is a world record for us. I heard the "lean bean" was paying New Zealand to tip my canoe, but the grizzly bear came to the rescue. I'm still glad! Life is fun and I am thankful to God for friends, wonderful nature and enjoyable times.

it is just a good thing that Grizzly bear was being grizzly or the water would have been soo refreshing after such a long hard paddle. Not that I wanted to put you in,but a certian person who fled the state made a special request.

I was just telling my mom the other day that I miss the camping trips we used to take. My parents aren't campers anymore and all our camping gear is in storage. But maybe next summer I can go camping with someone--want to go with me? Sounds like you had a fun time. Miss you!

yes siree, it has been awhile since I have posted on this blog. I bring you glad tidings of fried rice in California. The fried rice is very good here. You will need to stop and visit at some point. Maybe I will have bought a bed by the time you come.
