Fox Lake, IL

July 17, 2009

Today Susan and I actually spent time apart for the first time in 3 weeks.  With a sad heart I drove Susan (in Dad’s Blue Corvette) to Great America for fun with her sister’s family.  I heard a good time was had by all.  As for me I stayed home with Stu and worked. In […]

Howell to Fox Lake IL

July 16, 2009

We woke up slowly at the Mast residence to yet another home cooked meal (we might move in permanently).  After our slow start, we loaded up the truck and headed to Illinois. We arrived in Ill and met with our Niece and Nephew.  Stu was of course a big hit and Jacob/Kelly got to throw […]

Howell MI

July 15, 2009

Today we got to spend the day with Mike Mast.  Kathie and Mike started our day with a home cooked breakfast.  We were moving a little slowly from the drinking the night before, but we eventually made it out of the house and headed to the Ann Arbor Art Festival.  Stu got to go with […]

Marcellus to Howell MI

July 14, 2009

We spent another great day on the lake.  More of the same enjoying of the water.  We would really like to thank Pat and Diane Battaglia (have I mentioned that all spelling on this blog is bad) for the great stopping point on our trip.  We really enjoyed the company and the fun on the […]

Marcellus MI

July 13, 2009

Everything you wanted to do on a lake.  We went swimming, kayaking, tubing, skiing, jumped on the lake trampoline, laid in the sun, ate good food, laughed, and threw the ball to the dog (CONSTANTLY). Besides getting a little sun burned the day was a complete success and everyone enjoyed a great lake day.  We […]

Manistee to Marcellus MI

July 12, 2009

We awoke to another beautiful day, although it was once again a travel day.  After organizing the RV we went to Big Boy with Barry, Ann, Anthony, Roger, Titus, and Brenna.  It was one of Susan’s wishes for the trip (the Big Boy experience).  While we really enjoyed the company and had fun making faces […]

Manistee

July 11, 2009

Wine Tasting Time — North West Michigan Style. Today we checked out the competition by going wine tasting.  Barry graciously offered to drive so we set out to see what fine wines MI had to offer.  We had a great day bumping around vinyards (the weather was perfect as well).  As a special treat at […]

Manistee (or better said, Lind Estates)

July 10, 2009

Today we got to get a tour of Lind Enterprises.  Barry Lind started Xythos with me many many years ago, and has since left California (for Manistee) and is leaving Xythos at the end of July.  Today, Susan and I got to see what he is going to do with all his new found time […]

Columbus to Manistee, MI

July 9, 2009

Waking up in Columbus did not have much to offer.  We simply got some coffee for Susan and gas for the truck and headed out to Michigan. Michigan is not as open as SF with its dog friendliness.  We wanted to stop at two places on lake MI to swim, but instead we had to […]

Durham to Columbus Ohio

July 8, 2009

It was a slow moving morning with Stuart taking a number of dips in the Samuel Pond.  We enjoyed the one bedroom apartment we were staying in some more and did our laundry etc.  After some sad goodbyes we headed North.  We said goodbye to I-40 for the last time and headed through parts of […]
