We've been self-isolating (more or less) for eight months now and even though Susan's mom is in full lockdown at Pilgrim Manor we're thankful she is healthy and in good spirits. While we are greatly disturbed by the direction our country has been heading these past four years, a trend we see little sign of abating any time soon, we're fortunate to have a nice home, good food, a little money in the bank and good health when so many are without.
That said, here's a quick look back at our (few) outings during the past several months.
Besides the Mackinac Island adventure and a couple of patio dinners at Patty and Paul's home in Grand Haven, we've taken a trip to Meijer Gardens. We've gone to Søvengard on the west side for Susie's birthday (rained out) and then back again for our anniversary (it has superb outdoor dining and the sour beer fries are incredible).
A group of us in Eagle Ridge Court got together in our driveway to remember a wonderful and generous neighbor, Daryl Kaufman. Susie and I (OK mostly Susie) laid the pavers on our new patio.
One gorgeous afternoon we drove over to Lake Michigan to pay a visit to one of Susie's favorite childhood haunts, Meinert Park, located just north of Muskegon.
Although we missed their version of the Eiffel Tower we passed through Paris, Michigan on a day trip up north.
Finally, we made a quick trip to Susie's old stomping grounds, Fremont, Michigan. Filled with great memories tarnished only by the prolific number of Trump signs.
Now we await winter's arrival and wish safety and health to all.
