Thursday - June 30

Oh my, the last day of June already and the year will be 1/2 over!!!     Loving this beautiful northern Michigan weather and today was another delightful day.    We exercised, then walked the trail along the lake.    Had a nice visit with our neighbors, Pam and Greg Johnson from Tampa area.   They are traveling for 7 weeks in their RV and going to a wedding (niece) on Mackinac Island this weekend!
 
So, we got our stuff together, hooked Toad up to Daisy and off to Traverse City - about 70 miles.    Love this town.....gosh, they just keep getting better and better, but each with its own charm and distinct quaintness.  
 
We had lunch on Daisy and then on our way  (we are at the Traverse Bay RV Resort 8 miles from downtown - beautiful place with fountains, flowers, all paved roads and really gorgeous!!!.)    Mark stopped off at the Traverse Pie Company and was in 7th heaven per the suggestion from his brother Jim to have the Mountain Berry Crumb Pie alamode!    I checked out the shops....oh my, one neater than the next!     And then the roar of the Blue Angels as they practiced this afternoon.
 
What a bittersweet moment....seeing Ryan by himself and then only 5 jets.   An emotional time for both of us...
 
We picked Ryan up and had dinner at Trattoria Stella in the old mental hospital that has been converted into shops and this very good restaurant.    Several small little alcoves with rounded archways.....loved the décor and definitely a popular place, but yet quiet and so enjoyed our visit.
 
Thinking of and praying for several family members tonight......kidney transplant, detached retina, cancer (2).  
 
Rain/storms are coming......watching radar!
