July is flying by

July is flying by and I have not been posting.. A summary... my wifes surgery went well and she is recovering, in fact she started back to work today 1/2 time. Common Ground went better than expected, as each day got easier.. and I am looking forward to that paycheck today. The month has been hot and fairly slow.... so this weekend my wife thought we should go camping.. This surprised me to no end, because I didnt think she would want to, or be up to it yet.. but as she pointed out, she does not really have to do anything.. so I made a reservation at Straits park in St Ignace and Saturday morning we went up there.. camped in a nice spot by some cedar trees right near the water.. so the camp established and went to the beach.. it was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed being out in the sun! Got cloudly later and tried to sprinkle but over all was a nice day and evening..
I really do enjoy camping and as I lay down to sleep could not help but smile as I felt the breeze coming in the tent window above my head. My wife woke me up at some point that night and pointed out it was raining.. yep I could hear it and went back to sleep. In the morning.. must have been somewhere around 6 it was raining steady with lots of thunder and lightening.. still enjoyable.. as I felt the mist from the rain on my face.. The rain stopped around 9 and the day cleared up a bit.. got home to HOT weather mid 90's and really bad humidity..guess they had bad storms here.. some flooding and lots of trees down.. at least we did not have that!
Talking about going to Taquhamenon Falls and camping for Labor Day.. also talking about getting a yearly pass to the Mackinac Parks for next year for $59 we can go to any of the parks for the whole season.. that sounds cool!
I am really enjoying camping... looking forward to my trip to the UP that will be coming up soon! Leaving Aug 3... and I know Aug is going to go just as fast as this month.. the good news is Mitchell we soon be back in school and the childcare fees will go down!
