Another monday!

Well, its Monday again and I dont know how it happened! Time is traveling way too fast to suit me. I am painting walls today as we had some plaster work done and it needs to be primed so thats what I have done...now waiting for it to dry. Then will add a bit of paint to finish the job. Have not been able to finish our bathroom yet as we keep running off and having fun or Larry is so swamped with work that he cant get to it. He is supposed to be retired but you would not know it by the time he spends out in the shop! But again, its economic hard times and we lost so much with the crash that we need to work awhile longer. Somehow we will make things work.
Our place here is beginning to get too big for us to keep up. I see ourselves pooping out at all the work this place requires. So in a year or two we will put this place up for sale, sell some stuff, put in storage the rest and take off for 6 mo. or a year of travel. Then come back and probably resettle nearer to Christy and Sean. It will be hard because we are so settled here with so many friends that we will miss terribly but we will make new ones. We will have time to think about it as we hit the roadways!!! Moving will be monumental after this many years of aquiring "stuff" so I dread that but leaving this house will not affect me as deeply as it will Larry.
Our health is okay and we keep busy. Our life is small but good. I will sign off now and wish everyone a good week. We are going camping/fishing again on thursday...yayee!!
Love, Rose

My "D" pictures

Hello my sisters. Sorry I'm so late with my pictures Esther. Have had a rough time withdrawing from my anti-depression medicine. Been feeling better the last few days so I took these. Lets see if you can guess them. They aren't hard and I used my phone camera, but at least I took some. Will do better for August and the "E's". Remember to guess before you look at what others thought it was. Love Cindy

D pictures

Well since I seem to be the only one posting pictures I thought I would post my "D" pictures. Had trouble finding ones that would be hard to guess so went with these three. Remember to guess first. Esther

Rochester, NY

Rose and I took a trip to Rochester, NY to deliver Devin to his hockey showcase. We drove through Canada to Buffalo and on to Rochester. Rose got to see how the level of hockey has changed, the speed is incredible and the kids are taller than most adults we know. Devin is doing well and Rose got to see him get a shutout, having to kill off eight minutes of penalties including a five minute major, which tied the game. We then went into a shootout and won because Devin only allowed one goal while the other goalie allowed three. We had a good time and went on a two hour riverboat lunch cruise down the Erie Canal. Very informative and we had great weather, it was great. We finally made it home on Sunday after waiting two hours to cross the border back into Michigan.

The campers return!

Well, we got home yesterday from beautiful Charlevoix and it was spectacular!! We had our daughter and grandchildren all to ourselves and relaxed the whole weekend! We ate campy food, homemade pies and sat around the campfire every nite! We spent the day on a beach as beautiful as any Bahama beach, lazed in the sun and swam in clear waters as waves rolled in due to an occasional passing boat. We hated coming back to the camper! We walked downtown, had lunch in an expensive diner that we wont visit again and crossed a river on a car barge to get to another local town. Kids loved that! We had a wonderful time and I hope we can do it again sooner than later! Today its back to the real world of washing clothes, cleaning the camper out, cleaning house cause Uncle Bobblehead is coming to stay for a couple days after his neck surgery. I am leaving with Esther for Buffalo, NY to deliver Devin for hockey camp on thursday. Will be gone 4 days so need to clean house soon. Life is good...we are happy. I love my family!
