I know it has been a while since I posted a blog. I have been in the "Back 40" without cell service, which means no Internet. I was going through communication withdrawals...16 days...THAT'S A RECORD !
Yea, my brother lives in the middle of "No Where", Michigan. It is really nice..except it is "NO WHERE". How can people live like this !! lol
We spent a lot of time fishing and talking trash. See ya next year brother ! Maybe, I can get you to stop thinking of me as 50/50 ! lol
He wouldn't take any pictures of my fish...maybe because they were bigger ! lol

| My "older" brother Al...not bad bro ..not bad ! |
 |
| Very nice ! |
 |
| Spent a fair amount of time here at Foot Site Dam on the Ausable River |
Poor Laura...she was helping her daughters boyfriend take a quad off a truck..if she wasn't helping she was just in the way. Well, to make a long story short. The quad fell off the truck smacked into her face and knocking her down. She now has a broken face and hip. She went into surgery a few days later and had screws placed into her hip and leg.
She didn't even cry ! I would have balled like a small baby ! She is fine and doing well now. Maybe next year, if you don't hurt yourself, we can do some fun stuff. LOL Love you !

| I know you are hating this picture and me right now...so what...you cant catch me ! lol Walker lady !! |
On the way up north to see my brother and the rest of my family many memories came into my mind. Some of you will know what I mean with this picture below.
THE FLOOD OF 2014
We stayed and visited Bud and Sue during the family reunion and after Andy's trip to Oregon and mine to Michigan...see our RV ? This is what it looked like before the flood, a few weeks ago. Pretty ! The round building to the right is the gazebo.
 |
| Normal Water level..maybe a little high. |
 |
| Bud getting his boat ready for the flood..only means of transportation during the flood |
The river continued to rise until the water came into the gazebo. Man, I feel so sad for Sue and Bud. They have been through this a "few times" and are such good sports about it. I guess practice makes perfect !

| Here comes the flood...as you can see...the RV is gone ! |
Two and a half years ago on our first RV Adventure we met Lauri and Lewy at Gila Bend in AZ. They hosted the 4:01pm Happy Hour, everyday! So what was there not to like??? We've kept in contact with them all this time...well mostly Andy. Since they live in Sioux Falls SD and we were driving right by there, of course we had to stop for a short visit!
 |
| Lauri & Lewy He even has a shirt on ! |
They were such gracious hosts and took us on a tour of their city Sioux Falls, yes they own it. lol We even had a few happy hours again ! lol. We will see you guys again down the road.

| Sioux Falls...who knew it was this gorgeous! |

| Right in the middle of town! |
Learned a lot about the history of the area and it was a beautiful day to be a tourist!

 |
| Hey Lewy are you hitting on my girl?? |

In the park were many statues. These two are my favorite.
