School is back in session, folks are pulling boats and chopping firewood, the sun is lower in the sky, trees are changing and temps are dropping, you still get warm days but the water is cold, football is big news and college teams Michigan and Michigan State are having a awesome run so far!
Michigan is still in deep trouble. The report this week is that in this (Livingston) county alone, there now are over 3,000 abandoned or foreclosed properties. But still, life goes on, and the rythmm of fall activities continue as they always have.
It was a fantastic summer here this year for me. I was able to spend a lot of time with friends and family who matter. A lot of time also spent on the water which will always be my favorite. My little buddy Spanky continues to do well and to touch people wherever we go.
I did have some difficulties but the outpouring of support that I did not know I had make me believe that all will be well in the end.
Soon it will be time for loading up and hitting the road. Escaping the winter snow and ice is a wonderful blessing for me, but as soon as the trees start to bud in the spring, I will be back, Michigan is always home!
