AND SO IT WAS A PERFECT WEEKEND. MY OLDER GRANDSON AND HIS FATHER HAD A CUB

SCOUT OUTING SO OUR DAUGHTER AND 4 YEAR OLD CAME TO OUR PLACE. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY SO WE HIT THE ROAD. FIRST WE WENT TO MICHIGAN AND HAMBURGERS AT ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES. THEN IT WAS OFF TO AN ORCHARD FOR SOME APPLE PICKING. RATHER THAN A RIDE OUT TO THE TREES ON A TROLLY, WE WERE GIVEN OUR OWN "GOLF CART" AND ZIPPED UP AND DOWN THE ROWS OF APPLE LADEN TREES. WE PICKED TWO LARGE BAGS OF HONEY CRISP, GALA, AND GRANNY SMITH APPLES. THAT KID HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE THE ENTIRE TIME. ACTUALLY WE ALL DID. THE IT WAS OFF FOR A LITTLE SHOPPING AND BACK HOME FOR A DINNER PICNIC OF PIZZA, SALAD AND HOT FUDGE SUNDAES.

TODAY WE HAD A BIG BREAKFAST, THEN TOOK A STROLL THROUGH THE PRESERVE ADJACENT TO OUR PLACE. OUR COMPANY HAS DEPARTED, SO IT'S TIME TO LAY BACK ON MY EASY CHAIR AND WATCH SOME FOOTBALL ( AND CATCH 40 WINKS IN THE PROCESS ).

WHAT A WEEKEND!
