Welcome

If you've stumbled onto this page, well just enjoy the ramblings of a middle-aged guy who needs to get off his assets more often. But for the time I'm here I might as well produce something for the internet (I really believe this whole internet thing will take off and be useful!) Feel free to make comments, but be nice!

Kentucky Bound


Hello anyone and everyone!

The wife and I are headed south to Kentucky to visit daughter #2, Rachel. It's going to be a short trip but we hope to look for possible campgrounds and sites to visit again and again. We'll post again when we return.

July RANDOM Thoughts....

Well, the oldest has left for home in N.C., following the youngest kids high school open house...The kiddle in the middle is in KY having car troubles...The youngest is at his girlfriend's house...It sure is quiet in here...I wonder why?

The dog is old and moving slower every day. I wonder if he knows how much he's loved and how much happiness he's given over his 12+ years?!

Will I ever get an interview for an administrative position? All I want is just one, I don't even need to get hired...I just want an interview.

It's hot outside, but not so bad inside that I feel I have to turn on the ac...that's good!

How come my sweet tea doesn't taste like the sweet tea in restaurants?

Will the Great Lakes water levels come up soon (I hope so!)?

Why didn't I win the lottery last night? (I really have purchased a ticket!)

Would I ever want a ferret? They seem cute!

Well that's all of the weird and random thoughts I have for today. TTFN!

Summer Camping "07


Howdy all,

Well the DW and I had our first camping trip of the season at Tawas Point SP in late June. We had a nice mixture of weather, warm days and cool nights. The Michigan camping season was just beginning (since school had just gotten out for most families) so the cg wasn't too full.

We did see the most wildlife that we've ever encountered. We were walking back to the rear parking lot, along Lk. Huron and saw a momma fax carrying her young..very quickly into the brush. We also saw two deer in the brush, actually quite close to our site. This was the first time we've seen deer in the park! On our way into town we caught a momma and a fawn crossing the road, and then on a later trip a momma with two fawns crossing the road. This was more than we've seen on our other trips there totaled!

The level of Lk. Huron in down even more this season, but the park has added a nice walkway down to the water, and some benches to watch the sunrises and the lighthouse. We always enjoy our time there!

Next excursion...Straits SP in early August.
