Yes, Lisa and I were married on Dec. 29th at the Snowbird Inn(her family’s B&B just 1/2 mile up the road). Mother Nature was kind with a new blanket of snow covering the ground. Snow usually isn’t an issue around here in late Dec., but we had the least snowiest December in 80 years!

Happy New Year Everyone! It has been quite some time since I’ve posted here. As some of you know, I was married to Lisa just a little over a week ago! The holidays were quite busy and joyful. Lisa and her two daughters, Sierra, Harper and Juniper(dog) moved into the lodge on Dec. 30. Anyway, I’ve had the itch to take my camera out of the bag and do some wandering:) Lisa (she is an artist among other things) and I were sketching and photographing south of the lodge about 4 miles. I believe it’s the Hlavka farm. The park maintains it now and holds many photo opportunities. Hope all is well with everyone and hope to see you in 2012! PS Letters just went out last week and today.

Hi Everyone…… Had to drag out the camera tonight! Nice to have a beautiful set for the last night before check out. Shall we say warm week?!!!! That would be a yes! Probably not as bad as many of you, but still a toasty one. Stay cool everyone……

Hi all………10 of you:) Sorry, I just haven’t been using the camera lately. First day of summer! Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn’t get the memo…..a little chilly, cloudy, rainy and just plain fall-like:( I did get into the lake today, but after 4 days of offshore winds, the warm surface water had left us with the cold bottom water! Ok, I am pretty hardy, but I have to say that it did get my heart racing! Had our first smore roast of the season last Sun. The rain held off to the delight of a few chocolate/marshmallow covered faces:) The beach is hanging in there……We’ve lost probably 20 feet of beach in the last 2 months due to the seasonal rise and also the rainy spring. Don’t fret….there is still plenty left. In fact, I took the jeep along the beach to Whaleback yesterday! We still have a 3 units open in July if anyone is looking. See you soon….. PS Photo is of youngest son doing his thing……just a few years ago:)

Travel Soccer….

I guess I’ve been busy with travel soccer…. How about driving to Detroit for 1 soccer game! The water level has come up a bit with all of the rain in the midwest:( Thought you might recognize the guy on the left:)
