Up North

Often when you hear the phrase "up north" it's someone from Michigan speaking.

I had the fabulous opportunity of spending a couple weeks with friends on a lake - up north - in the northern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan. It was not unlike the lake I grew up on in southern Michigan.

I had an amazing time.

Kayaked almost every day.

Bird watched.

Listened to the loons.

I had a couple of sailing lessons and managed to go out twice by myself and not end up in the drink.

Had a great parking spot for my rv - with great friends!

I bought some art.

Did a little painting.

Did some writing.

Enjoyed my first month of (semi) retirement!
