Happy Sunday

We had a weird weather week. We came back north on Tuesday and it got to 98 degrees in Traverse City. The next day we had storms and it got to the mid eighties. The next day it only reached fifty five and then 39 that night!

We've had rainy cool weather and it has held up construction. The builders got two walls raised but they have been getting rained out the last couple days. We are supposed to have better weather this week so we are expecting great progress.

We did some exploring around Glen Arbor yesterday and visited with some of the local artists. They have a thriving artist association here and they sponsor lots of music events and and art classes. We are finding more new and exciting things about this town all the time. We also took a ride up Peirce Stocking Scenic Drive at the sand dunes and took some pictures. The area has a lot of beauty to get a person inspired.

Flowers to greet the summer tourists in Glen Arbor.

The flowers are out, where are the tourists? (They were all in Leland at the Wine Festival!)

We saw this old Chrysler Imperial and Ford Fairlane at Pierce Stocking Drive in the Sleeping Bear Dunes. The plates said Maryland!
