Busy Sunday

Sunday we got up and all went to Muskegon, in two vehicles, for the 'Lakefront Spectacular'. The paper made it sound terrific.

We couldn't find it, the art & craft fair. We could find the lake front. We eventually saw a Fire Station and asked for directions. While we waited in the vehicles another pulled in and a lady got out. Just then a fireman came out pointing in the direction we should go. The lady asked the same question and he said, "Just follow them."

So off the three vehicle caravan went, blindly following the leader. Only the leader heard the directions. It was quite a ways that lead to a tent full of folks. I think we disturbed their Sunday service. We all backed out of the lot and drove around to the other side of the park

It wasn't as big as we expected. Nor was it as 'spectacular' as the paper made it sound.


These wooden roses were the most artful thing I saw there. They were made from wood shaving rolled up and dyed. Or dyed and rolled up. (Click on any picture to enlarge it)


Then we walked to the channel. There was a lot of boat traffic.


Then back to the house for lunch. Quaker like the girls made lunch on one side.


The guys waited on the other side.

The covey scattered like quail. Some went to the antique mall, some tried to recover. Roger and I went to the Grand Haven lakefront to take a walk. The weather was great again. We were both there to 'take a walk' so we didn't poke along.


The beach was lined with people.


As we walked out to the lighthouse the beach was loaded all the way out to the park we were at on Saturday.

As it turned out Roger had also wanted to take a walk. His company is sponsoring a wellness campaign and he is supposed to walk every day. We went around 10,500 steps. He now knows that he needs to start farther away to reach his 15,000 step goal. that is a big goal.
