LeRoy to Grass Lake

We’ve had an amazing time and appreciate the hospitality of the Gordon’s so much.  It was really hard to say, “see you later.”  Jack and Kathy sent us down the road with fresh tomatoes and corn and a fresh rhubarb cake (yummmm).  Elaine and Larry gave us fresh purple/green beans and cucumbers.2010 July 30 Leroy to Grass Lake, MI-1

It must be a good day for moving100_1246

In about an hour, we were in Grass Lake and very excited to see Norm and Lori Post aka NoPo and LoPo.  The park where we are is very appropriately named, but very nice.100_1251

They are serious about the speed limit in this park.100_1252

Lots of beautiful flowers.100_1254

Don checking in.  That’s Duane, the manager.  Nice guy and quite a cut-up.  I like him.  (shocker)100_1255

Don got the Q parked really quickly and we were ready to rest for just a minute and then we went over to Norm and Lori’s.100_1258

Soon, Norm was home from work. Work? We need to have a serious talk with NoPo regarding the definition of  “retirement.”100_1262

Oh my, it is so good to be here with them!!  How did we get to be so blessed to  have so many wonderful friends?  If you have ever seriously prayed the prayer of Jabez, look out!! (So you won’t misunderstand that statement, I am posting >a really good explanation< of the Prayer of Jabez so you will understand what I mean when I say, “we seriously prayed the prayer of Jabez.)

LoPo & NoPo have hummer feeders in the front and the back and I was determined to get a good picture.  Today, I had to settle with a so-so picture.100_1266 100_1270

Their home is beautiful and really a lot larger on the inside than it looks because of the finished basement.100_1275

Before we drove over to the Hungry Wolf for dinner, I spotted this dragonfly on the end of a blue spruce branch.  Now if I could just do this well with the hummers.  In my defense, the dragonfly was sitting still.100_1276100_1277

Love this Michigan farm shot.100_1278-1We saw some unusual barns on the way to the Hungry Wolf.  This is the only green barn we’ve seen.100_1280

And this barn is really unusual. It’s “L” shaped and the corner is built on a curve including the roof.  It’s hard to see it in this picture.100_1286

We talked and talked and talked and laughed and enjoyed our time tonight with the Norm and Lori.  Looking forward to more time with them tomorrow!
