Camping, Friends, and Wine

Northport camping and Wine Festival. The women went camping on the shores of the lake to spend time together and enjoy nature (and a real bathroom and shower). Then friends (male) and others arrived for the weekend to enjoy the Wine Festival, dancing, communing with nature and each other. What a great weekend!! In the hectic life of family, work and other obligations, it is important to stop and enjoy the great universe we live in and those we share it with.

"Hot Times....

Summer in the city, back of my neck getting hot and gritty"
Another great time at the Ann Arbor Art Fair. The annual trip was, as usual, up to expectations. Friends, fun and art. I got a great picture that feeds my desire to do a bike tour in Italy. So it is hanging in my dining room to inspire me to save for a great adventure. We'll see.
