A Great Day

Drew and I getting ready to zipline in Peurto Rico
One more day until the kick-off of the summer season!  Memorial Day is upon us and I have a full house!  It looks like it should be a great weekend.  Temps in the 80's and 90's.  Chance of showers but sun too!  Memorial Day weekend is alway so "iffy" regarding the weather.  So, it takes a little longer to fill up the house. 

When I read my blogs from two years ago they are so deep.  I can't believe I could express my feelings, grief and anguish so clearly.  It's almost like I'm reading someone else's work.  Now I seem to have gotten bland.  It must really take some deep emotions to write like that.  Writers must have very deep emotions about the things they write about.  My blog seems to have become just a journal of what I did that day.  I think I will have to shift to some other creative writing.  Maybe share new recipes I've found.  Maybe more pictures.  Events in Saugatuck...

Speaking of events in Saugatuck, the S.S. Keewatin (which has been docked here in Douglas since 1967) is moving back to it's home in Canada.  The departure date is set to be June 1.  Many speculate that there may be some concerns about moving it since it has sat so long.  However, after all the work and inspections that have been done there must be a big chance that it should go OK. 

The "Summertime Market" opens today in Douglas.  Many have found true love in this place as it has such a great selection of organic meats and vegetables as well as breads and more!  Friedl has been waiting for months for this place to open.

My mom, sister and three nieces will be coming to visit in a couple weeks.  This will be my niece Megan's first time here.  She is almost two years old (June 18).  She's going to be in awe.  I can't imagine what this house would seem like to a two year old who lives in a ranch house.  She is so cute.  We "Facetime" together so she get's to see her Uncle Jimmy once in a while on the iPod.  She always smiles when she sees me. 

Well, I have lots to do today so I better sign off.  Here's to a great day! - Jimmy
