Not a single picture.

So I am a bad person and I didn't take a SINGLE picture at the beach. My bad.

HOWEVER, I feel that my sister and mother may have made up for my negligence. For all beach photographic evidence, please see their blogs.

Thank you, good night, and tip your bartenders.

Michigan Madness

Michigan was pretty fab--as usual. There is something nice and special about your place and I think everyone should have one and know where it is. Easier access to it would also be appreciated.

This year was fun because I took Elisa and Abby--two Dune Newbies--to el lago to see how it fared for others. It was also sort of weird because neither Nana and Papr or Aunt Shoe and Uncle Holt were there--a first in my life. So weird. But I managed to handle the boats, maybe more like Gilligan than the Skipper, and I found the grocery store after only getting a little lost.

Some evidence of fun:

Elisa and Abby in front of Little Point Sable, I learned something new on the Dune Ride, sable means sand in French. Who knew that sable meant sand and Little Point Sable is talking about the sand? I was SO impressed!

Here Elisa and Abby are in front of Mac Woods Dune Rides, a family favorite.

Here I am doing the dip...aka eating at the Whippy Dip. Possibly not the best ice cream on the lake, but since the Whippy Dip was the reward for being good when I was little my pavlovian response is to WANT WHIPPY DIP.

The three of us in front of the 4th of July sunset down on the Simpson/Denman beach. It was cold! And wonderful! We drove back down here and remembered what swelter means...

There you go folks. Check out Abb's blog for more details... Now for a momentary pause at home to do laundry and repack fro Maryland.
