This is the life... Camping, Family, Grandkids, Outdoor Life and Friends!

Well, seems like just yesterday and I was here trying to figure out what to write. We have camped at Sherwood in Olivet and on Moon Acres, our own private "campground" in Olivet. Tom had back surgery last Friday and he's recovering slowly. I have managed to keep him in tow for the last four days. Hopefully he'll stay put for a while longer, but he's getting pretty bored. We spent a peaceful weekend with family and friends in Olivet.

As we quitely sat with Kelli and new baby, Lilly, we noticed to fawns coming into the clearing. Lilly was cooing and making beautiful baby noises. One of the deer decided she/he wanted to check out the little sounds and eventually worked his way up to about 20 feet from where we were setting. Then, he just stood there and watched us as we watched him. I was able to get quite a few pictures, so I have included a couple of them.


We watched the Olivet fireworks with friends and family. We enjoyed the personally delivered chicken from the barbeque down town - Thanks to Danny Lapoint. We so enjoy our property and our good friends and family. But... we do have a chance for a real vacation in August, when we camp for a week at Tawas State Park on Lake Huron. A "real vacation" is that which means we don't HAVE to do anything if we don't want to. I can read a book, or take a walk on the beach, or ...nap or best of all - Nothing!

Keep tuned in for more of my wonderfully exciting life!
