Kayak, kayak, and yak, yak, yak

Another Great Day....
of kayaking down the Boardman River. Started with wonderful breakfast at Duane's then on to the river. Talking, paddling, and a little water fun.

I will remember these days come winter, how quiet and tranquil on the river, and of course all the fun.

Friday Morning

What a Gift....
to have this day off work and to be home
to see this visitor and experience the quiet of nature.

Ultimate Flying Kayaks

And away he goes!!!

Frank on his way down the canoe slide and into the river. And he lived to tell the story. Oh my God, the whole gang laughed so hard. And of course I have to mention Duane who also made the trip down the rails. And Russ...who had the most spills. What a great day with good friends. (what will Frank think of next?)

Elaine and Frank's Most Excellent Adventure

Going with the Flow!

"The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying to. Live in accordance with the nature of things. In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep to the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind". (Tao Te Ching)

Girls Night Out

Some hot camping babes! We decided to go camping for girl's night out. We started at the Big Easy for drinks and it just got better from there. We remembered out tents, sleeping bags, and food, but forgot the firewood. Thanks to Claudia and company we were able to get not only plently of firewood, but also some great salmon to cook on the grill. (It's great to be a girl). There was a lot of laughing and fun. The next day we went biking and kayaking. Then the "boys" came to join in on some of the fun. We laughed and laughed.

Kayak Trip and Camp Out

What a Blast!

Camping at Sharon's place and kayaking for 2 days is the greatest. We spent many hours on the Manistee river, floating and paddling. And downing a few "brewskis". The weather was great, warm and sunny. I have the absolute best friends and we had such a great time. I just love the color of all the boats, don't you?

Ann Arbor Art Fair

Here I am at the Ann Arbor Art Fair with my "sisters" Mary and Pat. We always have a good time at this annual event. Three days of fun, art, and each other. As usual, it was very hot, so here we are at the "Full Moon" restaruant enjoying a few "cold" ones. I bought some real cool stuff, jewelry, a great wood box, ethnic clothing, and of course pottery. Why do I keep buying it, you have to lug it around all day! I can't wait 'till next year!
