Another day in Michigan

The pier in Petoskey Michigan.  We watch a softball game that overlooked the lake, walked a bit in the quaint town, bought sandwiches to go at an amazing little coffee shop and ate on the picnic bench at the pier.  I had a BLT on a croissant with avocados and some delicious house spread.

The waterfall was across the street from the pier and softball game.  I am a sucker for waterfalls.

Vandy flying his kite at Lake Michigan, the UP side!

I am also a sucker for sand and water and waves.  I wasn't going to mention Vandy's kite took a dive in the lake, I went after it to help out.  The sand shelf gave way and then I took a dive into the lake landing on my LEFT arm as my right arm saved the kite.  It hurt, but I am all good!!

My father loved pasties.  My grandmother used to make them for my grandfather and I think the recipe was passed down from my Great Grandmother Hrovatic (Cousin Jenny's Grandma).  I could never get the hang of making them, but my brother Joe made them for my Dad occasionally.  They are a dough based hot pocket stuffed with beef and potatoes and real LARD.  I have heard of some people putting rutabaga or carrots.

Me holding up Mackinac Bridge.  Vandy had me drive across as he HUNG out the window taking pictures.  Yes, I was scared to death.


We stayed at Boyne Mountain at one of vacation package condos. We did a few day trips that were perfect outings.  This is the mountain that took my shoulder at Boyne.  It looks a whole lot bigger with snow on it.  lol

Vandy and I at Sunset Park in Petoskey.  The picture was taken right above the waterfall.  It was an amazing vacation.  Don't we look like the happiest couple ever?
