So then, as usual, we went over to Michigan for a while during August. we had some fun taking pictures this year as we were aiming for a calendar for gifts this Christmas (you were warned here first! lol). Anyway, these are a few that might not get on that publication, but give some notion of how flippnig lovely the weather was in Kalamazoo. As ever, the Brit obsesses over a bit of sunshine. The first picture is of Grand Haven, on Lake Michigan which has a pair of lighthouses and then the one below is of South Haven, nearer to Kalamazoo, but still on the lake, with its own iconic red medal house.
That was an early morning trip, annoying the guys out fishing! We must have still been seriously jet-lagged at that point, as that's when we get out early on the road!
This time we were driving a rental car, so here's me (looking very portly!) with the ford focus and standing in front of the condo, in Kalamazoo.
This is the Radisson in town, which is a new building but one I quite like the shapes of, and this is evening lighting which suits it somehow. The trip was perhaps not one of our best, since Mum as unwell whilst we were away and some other things got a bit stressful too. However, we've been back 6 weeks now, so we're already quite nostalgic!

Good job! That red lighthouse is truly photo worthy. :-)
Thank you ((((((Lou)))))) and for visiting again.
South Haven is one of those towns where you can buy many bits of tourist tat, and most of them feature that lighthouse. But when the lake is THAT blue, it is a fine picture.

YAY!
;¬)
Love the pics too, especially the ones with you and Annie in them.
I'm loving the fact that you two are staying busy, look happy and healthy, and are having fun!
Tom says "hey"!
And we say "Hey!" back.
Yes, we're doing fine on the whole, though I have an appointment for root canal today, so I'll check back on that "fine" later on! Yikes!
