Michigan

We arrived in Michigan, about 2 pm this afternoon. It is quiet here, but all looks the same. The weather warmed up and was about 68 degrees in sunshine with no wind. A great welcome. The lake is very calm for those of you who have been here. There were no diamonds on the lake. It seems utterly normal to be here and I am quite sure there are a lot of friendly ghosts around watching. At least all of the people of the past are constantly on my mind, especially my Dad. Aunt Bette's property looks just the same but is not the same, knowing her presence is gone forever. I am sure her family will be around though this summer.

Photo taken at 9:40 p.m., poor quality but shows the loverly lake.


It is a privilege to be here and quite appropriate as the oldest to be the first here this summer. I do know that some of the family will be here to enjoy it again this year.

The dock is in and Larry put one of the little row boats in the water. He brought our electric trolling motor with us. Larry has already hit the lake with his flyrod. He plans to troll in the row boat. Looks like we may get some rain and wind tomorrow but I think it will not last long. We will be here until June 1st when we will head west again for summer and fall. We will try to check in with most of you by phone when we can. Blessings, Helen
