After some hot Tennessee like days last week it's been either cold, cloudy, rainy, and windy or a combination of the above. The last four days have been awful. I can take a lot and I don't like to complain too much about it but when I'm wearing sweatshirts in June and July it's getting to the point to rethink our summer time plans. I/We like our summers to be in the 70 and 80 range and we thought we'd get that in MI. This is not our first summer in MI so what's up with the weather this year. I'm fixing to take my walk so I'll need a sweatshirt with a hood just to go enjoy it. South Texas is looking pretty good at 100 degrees right now. (LOL)
Monday we decided not to stay inside all day and watch more tv so we took a road trip just to get out and do something. Reid use to live (a long long time ago) in Bad Axe, MI so we drove there and back. There really wasn't much to see and it was raining but it was a drive so it was fun. We found the street they lived on but he couldn't pinpoint the house (hey it's been 37 years) We drove to Port Austin which is where his dad worked while they lived here. the base is no longer there but we saw a tower and the dorms were still there and being used by a Bible College. Port Austin had 3 restaurants. Two were closed and the one that was opened only had parking on the street which was full and the closest parking lot was a couple blocks over and with the wind and rain we decided to head back to Flint and stopped at Famous Dave's for supper.
No other plans for the rest of the week. Monday we're heading to Alpena. Our friends, Phyllis and Larry live there. she's already emailed me that we've already missed their summer. They winter in Mission too that's how we met them. We haven't seen them since Feb so it will be fun to see them again.
I think this weekend might be nice and warmer, we'll just have to wait and see. Reid is freezing I think the heat is fixing to be turned on.
