We've had fun with Jim and Helen and their 3 kids, John, Sarah & Erik. They moved here from San Jose five years ago. Jim is also a contractor, and has built a number of homes in Petoskey. Unfortunately, the housing market here is worse than in California, and he hasn't been able to sell a couple of the new homes -- beautiful work, too. Anyone want to own a home in a subdivision with lots of privacy and trees all around? We can make a great referral!
John is a senior in high school, and works as an asst. chef in a restaurant right on Lake Michigan. We were so surprised when we went out to dinner there last night that when we went to pay for the meal, it had already been covered. That's a first --a grandson paying for a nice meal for parents and grandparents! Sarah is on a (so far) championship varsity volleyball team, and works as a hostess at the same restaurant. Erik has been practicing for Junior High football team all week. School starts for all the kids on Wednesday.
We had a wonderful day today on Walloon Lake in Jim's boat -- beautiful way to spend Labor Day. Pictures include: Jim & Helen; Sarah at volleyball practice; Erik; John driving the boat; Jim, Helen, John and me by Lake Michigan after a wonderful dinner.
We leave this beautiful area on Wednesday, heading East.
