Country Dairy in New Era Michigan!

Didn't have time for the tour but scored some great ice cream and some great cheese curds!

Lake Michigan Sunset!

Lake Michigan on the evening of July 21, 2021.  Elle and I walked down and were rewarded with some pretty skies.  The moon as rising on the opposite side!

Italian Bracca

We ran into an Italian Bracca in Asheville. A friendly pointer styled hunting dog.  This was at 12 Bones....

Hangin’ with Uncle Dave!

We had a fun day with Uncle Dave at the Grand Rapids Museum and Planetarium.  Elle scored this good selfie and we saw some super cool things at the planetarium.

North Carolina - 12 Bones BBQ

Quite good with quite a following.  Long lines even in mid-afternoon.  Widely acclaimed by Obama so the lines probably trended Democratic!

Rick and Barb at the Stony Lake Inn

We ended up eating here three times! Great perch and walleye! Jack had a lot of steak…

Coffee from a Glass Pot!

The VRBO we stayed at near Shelby, Michigan featured an almost all glass coffee pot.  Cooler than it is functional it still functioned reasonably well and made good coffee.  It was hard to pull out the hot metal coffee innards the held the ground coffee before pouring.
