Its hard to believe, but Dad made it to Mackinaw an unprecedented third time this year, this time due to work. A customer in Saulte Ste Marie Canada needed help with a tester and Dad was sent to take care of it.

Dad has been to Mackinaw in the winter, spring, and summer, but never in the fall and it was very interesting to him because you could see the tourist area starting to get a little ready for Halloween. Many stores were closed but enough of them were open that Dad could pick up a few souvenirs.

Always beautiful in any season.

Its hard to believe James is nineteen years old and in his second year of college at Wayne County Community College but that is exactly what we celebrated today. James had a blast and after opening his gifts we all enjoyed cake and ice cream.

Naturally we take pause this day to remember Aunt Peg, who was also born on September 18th and we take this opportunity to let her know we remember her with love and miss her very much.

Happy Birthday James, and many more… Continue reading “James Birthday 2022” →

Its been a while since we went as a family to a Tiger game at Comerica park, but we were lucky enough to attend when Nick – a friend of James – invited us to the game to celebrate his birthday. And what a game it was…

The Tigers have been a bit of a disappointment this year, but not tonight. The game went into extra inning and the Tigers finally won in walk off fashion 3-2. Great Job Tigers.

After the game we stayed for the fireworks show and Dad said the last time he saw a fireworks show at the ball game it was at Tiger Stadium.

Happy Birthday Nick and thanks for inviting us. Continue reading “2022 Tigers VS Whitesox at Comerica Park” →

We have lots going on in September with several birthdays and anniversaries, so much so Dad often jokes about going broke each month of September. All joking aside it is always fun to celebrate Moms birthday which usually includes a trip to the antique store.

This year Moms cake was a little different with dark chocolate on top and white icing below. The cake was delicious so we will have to try these multi layered icing cakes again in the future. The inside was just as good which is why we have a picture of the cut cake.
