May Grand Haven Style




Not much for my first time out. I need to work on building up, however some is better than none. Hoping to add alot more miles as the summer moves on. This is just down the road from my house. The end of the same road that Peach Plains is on. For those of you who are not sure where this is, it is Nikki and TJ's elementary school. We have beautiful bayous and swamp land, or maybe it is considered wet lands, not sure, but it is very pretty this time of year.

16 Now and Then



Just a few more pictures to share. Grandma also needed to be shown with her granddaughter on the big 16th. She has also helped in the development of love for chocolate. I also thought a nice picture of Nikki as a baby with her very proud dad. He would be soooo happy with the young women she is coming to be. I am sure he was looking down on her and smiling with pride. You can also see the very entertaining card given to her by her 'stepdad' and her many presents. A good time was had by all.

Blizzard 2011 in Grand Haven Michigan

Out my front door. Can not even see the steps.
Halfway up the Tikki torches.
Razz's path to get to his business. It is as high as him. He has his own path out to the backyard.

Guess I have some work for today. Yuck!!!!! Need I say more? Except the kids love it. No school ANYWHERE today. They even shut down businesses all over.

Grandpa's birthday, How it looks in MIchigan



On grandpa's/dad's birthday in Michigan, it was cold, snowing and somewhat miserable. I braved the elements for an hour long walk in non-stop snowing. It has now stopped but it is said by local weather that artic air along with ice is heading our way soon. Yuck!!!! Dad is truly a wise man for spending his birthday in a much prettier and warmer place right now. Soooo jealous of the snow birds. I need to find another excuse to get back to Florida. Happy B-day Dad. Love from Michigan.

michigan winter 1/12/11

My walking route for today. No clear bike path here until the snow leaves. I sure do miss the Florida view and warmth. I was layered to the hill. However, the sun was out and bright, but still very cold. The fresh air felt good. After buying bathing suits in Florida, I figured I better step it up for when the weather actually does turn around. Unfortunately, I know we are a good 6-8 weeks away. Looks like no clear bike paths for awhile.
