Autumn Beauty & Good Times

 Sharing some of the many pics I have taken so far this autumn season.

The first several photos were taken at Hidden Lake Gardens~ Tipton, Michigan. 

Dan and I have been there twice this month, we so enjoy our time together and this is one of our favorite spots.

haha, had to share this silly one!

These were taken at home, from the back of the house.

See Patch in the lower right corner?

Love this burst of color

I am sorry I haven't blogged lately. I have good intentions, but life has been so busy, a good busy. 

My dear friend Mary, from California was here on Monday. It was a great visit!!

I wish we didn't live so far away from each other. 

Here is a pic of us at Trabbic Family Farm, a local pumpkin farm.

I don't know why I wore that shirt!! It makes me laugh because I kind of blend in with all the fall colors!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Vacation~East Twin Lake~Ausable River~Mackinac Island~Chocolate Shoes

Hard to believe it's the end of July, this summer is sailing by!  It's been a pretty warm, actually hot summer so far, wondering how August is going to treat us? Personally I am hoping for some cooler temps, high 70's and low 80's.

Dan and I were away July15-22 on vacation with family. Kelly didn't go, she was working and taking care of the doggies at home.   My parents were there, all of my siblings & spouses and some of the nieces and nephews.  We were in the West Branch, Michigan area on East Twin Lake.  We rented cabins on the lake, it was a gorgeous view!

Took this pic from my lounger.

Dan out on our boat, fishing. He loves to fish.

We took a day trip on The Ausable River Queen. 

Another day trip to one of my favorite places in the world, Mackinac Island.

Look at these chocolate shoes you can buy at Sander's Candy & Icecream on Mackinac Island!  I wanted to get one for Kelly but $38 for one chocolate shoe is bit pricey. ;-)

Some the family that was there.

It was a fun trip, but nice to be back home.
