Reed City Work Day

Wednesday I went up north to Dad's deer camp at Reed City. He needed some help planting some food plots. In this picture is my Dad age 90, Lou age 91 and Jerry age 74. All walk with canes, now you know why they needed help.



Jim De Witt also was there to drive the tractor.



Of course Mary's Dad was also there, he is 80.



They always have a good lunch. Today it was roast venison and pork with fresh sweet corn.

Hauling the chipper home to start the storm clean up.

The Storm Of 2009

Sunday night a short but powerful storm went through the Spring Lake area. This is a house in Fruitport.




My driveway had lots of trees and limbs down and we had to get the chainsaws out to get out of the driveway.

Quite a mess.

Two days later we are still without power but we have a generator for some lights and microwave. No TV or Internet equals long nights. We are very thankful that we escaped the brunt of the storm with no real damage.

Ottawa County Fair

Went to the Ottawa County Fair with Mary, Ashley, Gisele and Jacob. The kids really liked the animal barns and the rides. Be sure and watch the video at the bottom.
