Michigan needs rain so badly and thought we would get some today, but only a few sprinkles!!! We left the campground around 8 and drove to Lake Orion for 9:00 Mass at St. Joseph's. What a beautiful church - never have seen one with the interior all brick, stone, cedar plank wood and lots of metal I-beams. We thought it was a newer church, but apparently it's 80 + years old....loved it!
So, I just finished reading a really good book "The Recruiter" by Dan Ames. Most of the book takes place in Lake Orion, MI.......when I was reading it, I just assumed this was a fictional town. But Lake Orion is alive and the real deal with a population of 3,026.
Nice little town with a beautiful church!
Arrived in Frankenmuth at 11:30 and are settled at the Frankenmuth Jellystone Resort for the next 3 nights. We haven't been here since 2010......love, love love this town full of charming shops, wonderful restaurants (family-style chicken dinners and Bavarian food are the specialties), bountiful and beautiful flowers EVERYWHERE and all set in an old Bavarian setting. And there's Bronner's Christmas Shop - thee largest Christmas store in the country - over 7,000 square feet.
My brother Bob and Linda are driving up tomorrow for 2 days - we girls will get in some retail therapy and looking forward to lots of fun!
We had lunch at the Bavarian Inn - wonderful and then walked around the town. It's really hot and humid but so many people out and about. Came back to Daisy and later, walked in the park and then got the car washed.

Nice tribute to Jeff today at Vero Beach air show
Walked around the park tonight till I got my steps in for the day. Rain is threatening, but think it's all going south of us. At least some parts of MI should be getting a good soaking!
