I Look Forward To Seeing Him

My first visit to Saugatuck in 1990, and one of my favorite pictures.

Twenty-two years ago I would NEVER have imagined I would be owning a bed and breakfast in Saugatuck.  Life is filled with surprises, disappointment, fear, excitement, joy, sadness, loss, gain, grief and MORE.  I guess this is what makes life exciting.  You don't know what will happen.  Just like reading a book.  You never want to know the ending as it will make the book not so exciting to read.  If we knew our ending we would probably not take any chances in life.  Not live it to it's fullest.

Last night Marguerite called me and asked if Beau and Kirby (her dogs) were here at the Kirby House.  She had come home from her paper making class at Ox-Bow and her door was slightly open and the dogs were gone.  I posted a notice on Facebook (so locals could be on the look out).  Then my friend Tom, Friedl, Marguerite and I went out on a search and rescue operation.  We drove all along the path Marguerite takes the pugs on a walk.  Calling their name, stopping people, walking the beach.  Nothing.  When we got back to her home Friedl saw Kirby come running from behind a bush.  They were both there...safe, but a little dirty from their six hour wilderness walk.  I would have loved for there to have been a camera on their collars just to see what they experienced. 

It's getting hot here.  Summer is on it's way.  I'm looking forward to it.  I'm expecially looking forward to seeing my mom, my sister and my three nieces this weekend.  Drew returns on Wednesday or Thursday this week.  I look forward to seeing him! - Jimmy
