Tennessee weather in MI June 24

Hello everyone, I'll get everyone updated. The state has finally warmed up for us. You know I've said how cold it's been well it's in the 90's with some humidity so it's feeling like Tennessee this week. I believe it's going to cool back down into the 70's by the first of the week if you can believe the weather people.
We left Ohio on Monday and arrived back at Waldenwoods. We were surprised to see how full it was considering it usually empties out during the week and fills back up for the weekend. The holiday is coming up so everyone is doing like we are and getting our site claimed so we can have a good site. Some are probally wondering what's involved in finding a good site. We'll I'll give you some pointers. First you want to be as far from the playground, lake and kid activity area as possible. (that's one of Reid's must haves). Then you want to make sure your rv is on a site that's going to give you afternoon shade so you can sit outside and not have the sun on you all afternoon. Then you hope to get a site that has the big three SWE, That's sewer, water and electic..you gotta have those if you plan on being here for two weeks. Those are a few things you can control if you get to the parks earlier enough before holidays..some things that's nice but you don't have control over is avoid sites that have yapping dogs, or playpens with multiple big wheels in the yards. That's just a few things to watch for if you're every living in your rv.
We don't have a lot of plans for the next couple of weeks. Reid we golfing yesterday and will probally go again this week sometime. We have to make a run to Sam's to get meds so we're going to do that tomorrow. Lady has an apt at Animal Crackers Pet Salon on Monday..just love that name. So that's my plans for the next few days.
Everyone stay safe and cool

Our week in Ohio June 17

I was going to post when we arrived but I forgot. Anyway we arrived at Erie Island RV Resort and Marina in Ohio on Monday. This park is nice enough and if you like water sports then you'd love it here. We came here cause it's close to where we're staying this summer and it's one of our membership parks. So we decided to get our two weeks useage out of it this year. We used this place last year as we were making our way south in the fall. We've seen some membership parks that we didn't like at all but this one is very nice. We even left one after one night cause it was so bad. Just because we can use them don't mean we will...Peak season is picking up and we're surprised at how empty the parks are this summer. They'll probally get buiser closer to July 4th.
Does anyone agree with me that this has been a very wet spring. We've been on the road since mid Mar and we've has sooo much rain. I understand spring is rain but not like this.. In 13 weeks we've covered 15 states and 10 weeks of rain..Reid keeps saying "it's not raining in Mission" no, it's not, but it's 100 degrees daily...not going back there just yet.
If it keeps raining we'll spend the rest of this week reading, watching golf, and baseball so all is not lost. We'll get on the road again on Monday.

June is moving along. June 12

For some reason June has always seemed like a slow month to me but not this year, it's moving right along. We've been in Waldenwoods almost two weeks. We'll be leaving here on Monday for a week. We haven't really done much the past couple of weeks, Reid has golfed some and I have my walking and riding that I try to do daily but we haven't been so busy going places and doing things that we're wore out. Don't get me wrong I love to see new things and go to different places but it's also nice to have some down time where nothings planned. We are enjoying the new Hartland Grill for lunch. New owners took over this spring and fixed up the place and the food has been really good.
I've been craving Chinese food but haven't seen too many restaurants around this area. I'll probally have to wait till I get back to TN and go with my sister. We usually do that when I come through town.
The weather is still cool here but we're adapting. the high today is 72 (I'm hearing from TN that it's about 88 today and humid, we don't miss the humidity)
We're planning to grill out this weekend and they are calling for showers on Sat so it will probally be Sunday when we do it.
I have to close now and feed Lady her supper.

Here for the summer June 2

We arrived in MI yesterday. We'll be in this area for the summer. I tried to blog last night but it said something about cookies having a break in them and I decided to try again later cause that was too technical for me but today it's working fine.
We arrived in Waldenwoods about 1pm yesterday. We found the perfect spot and got all set up. The clouds that were hanging overhead left shortly after we got here and the rest of the afternoon was sunny. That's always great to see. Nancy and Bob stopped over for a few minutes they are at another park till Thurs.
We had planned to get groc's this morning but it was sunny instead of rainy when I got up and Reid wanted to go golfing (hey it had been a whole week) so we went to breakfast first at Leo's. That a great breakfast place.. We ordered what we wanted and the servings sizes where huge. Can't eat like that all the time. When we got back Reid left to go golfing and I got my bike out again and tried another mile (gotta get use to the hills again) I'd already walked two miles and rode one before breakfast but when you eat a big meal another mile want hurt, right.
We had a rain shower go through this afternoon but I hope it clears off again. It's cooler here than we've been in lately and we're hoping it warms up soon. You know me anything under 80 is cold and it's 59 right now. Burrrr
