I'm sitting in a fancy hotel in St
July 16, 2005 by Betsy in Betsy
I'm sitting in a fancy hotel in St. Ignace, Michigan on the tailend of our vacation. It has been an eventful trip. Last Friday as I was heading to the office at the end of the day a young man backed into my truck. When I got out it wasn't really bad but when the 20 something said "Oh. It's O.K. even though it was your fault for failure to control your vehicle." I couldn't deal with it so I called the cops and they gave him a ticket and got his insurance info. That set the tone for the rest of the trip, Wills braces broke, Patrick lost his glasses and the truck broke down in the middle of nowhere. We spent several days in Paradise, Michigan waiting for parts but everyone was wonderful and we had a beautiful campsite. Paradise is on Whitefish Bay where the Edmund Fitzgerald was headed for when she sank. Beautiful place. Headed back to civilazation tmmorrow. Love to all

The most bizarre thing happened last night
July 09, 2005 by Betsy in Betsy
The most bizarre thing happened last night. It was dusk and there had been a storm brewing all afternoon. It's very common to get pop up thunderstorms here, normally late afternoon from the heat. It had been 88 degrees and very sticky so I battened down the hatches and was at home working on getting ready to take Patrick to camp. I was in the living room when I heard what I thought were big rain drops hitting the skylights in the kitchen. I went out to look and there was hail coming down as big as quarters. Of then the storm hit with hail and rain in sheets so heavy I couldn't see past the edge of the patio. The hail lasted about 15 minutes and when it was done I went out and it was piled someplaces 3-4 inches deep! The temperature had dropped significantly and places where the hail was in puddles and on the ground it lasted about 1/2 an hour. Everything was O.K. but it made me wonder.
The boys are with Mike this weekend and we leave for our annual trip to Michigan on Monday. Hope all are well and enjoying the summer! Love, Bets and the boys
