Catch-Up Post...

Oh my.....it's been 46 days since my last post so I'll summarize as best I can...






We left DC on May 14 and arrived in Philadelphia to visit George's family, however, he woke up feeling sick and stayed in the coach a few days so as not to infect the family.  I took Mom, Dad and sister-in-law Donna to lunch and shopping at Peddler's Village, a really fun outdoor walking mall.  Got home around 4:00 and started feeling sick.  We both ended up at Urgent Care.  He had bronchitis and I had Type-B Influenza (even though I had a flu shot, this was a different strain).  I've never been so weak and so sick.  Needless to say, the entire week was a wash.






We left Philadelphia Sunday, May 21 and arrived in Traverse City Wednesday, the 24th.  I rested on the couch 2 out of the 3 day trip then stayed in the coach until the Memorial Day BBQ at the park.  Not too many folks here yet but had a good time.  A couple of days later, I was back in Urgent Care.  Now I have bronchitis.

Rested a few more days then played golf which really set me back and ended up back at Urgent Care who sent me to the hospital.  Ok, I don't have pneumonia but, if I don't rest, who knows.  So, rested for the better part of the next 2 weeks and just started to feel like myself on June 16.  We have had tons of rain since we've been here, making rest easier for me, but also had some really nice days too.

We've been out to eat at some of our favorite places plus made a day trip to Charlevoix with neighbors, Jan and Tim.  It's been great getting re-acquainted with our TC friends and neighbors plus two new couples who just bought on our block.

We experienced the "death wobble" in our Jeep Cherokee on the trip up here (google "death wobble" to see what I mean) and contacted Jeep to get them to pay for the $500 - $600 fix but they refused so we just traded for a beautiful Lincoln MKX.  DONE with Jeeps FOREVER and lovin' our new ride.

The 4th is just around the corner and the weather is supposed to finally clear up so we are going golfing with a few other couples.
