TODAY STARTED OFF A LITTLE HECTIC. THE REAL ESTATE AGENT CALLED AND ASKED IF SHE COULD COME OVER 15 MINUTES EARLY, AS HER CLIENTS WERE READY. MY WIFE SAID OK. NOW I DON'T GET DRESSED AS FAST AS I USED TO, SO IT WAS A CHORE GETTING READY POST-HASTE. WE TOOK A LONG WALK WHILE THEY LOOKED AT THE HOUSE.

THE WE WENT TO ST. JOSEPH, MICHIGAN. HAD LUNCH, AND SPLIT A DAIRY QUEEN HOT FUDGE SUNDAE. EVERY FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH, THEY HAVE ANTIQUE VENDORS ON THE BLUFF OVER LOOKING LAKE MICHIGAN. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY. I DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING BECAUSE MY WIFE IS OVER 60.

THEN WE CAME HOME AND COOKED OUT.........SALMON.......THOSE GOOD POTATOES.............VEGGIES. AFTER DINNER, WE WENT TO THE BEACH, SAT ON THE SAND, AND WATCHED FIREWORKS FROM NEIGHBORING TOWNS. THERE WERE LOTS OF BONFIRES GOING AND IT REMINDED US OF THE DAYS WE SPENT AT CAMP.

ONE OF OUR GRANDSON'S HAS A BAD SORE THROAT AND COLD, SO WE DECIDED THIS WAS NOT A GOOD TIME TO BE WITH HIM. SOMEHOW I ALWAYS CATCH WHAT HE HAS. OTHER THAN THAT, WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE?
