After the rain, the flowers seemed to have thrived. The garden looks beautiful.

Oklahoma Flood of July 2010

It appears we have a new swimming pool...


but, no, it's our back yard. No grass to be seen.






Rapids down the street...no curbs in view.
Unfortunately I got caught in this downpour and was cutoff at most every turn with high water. Didn't think I would make it home. I was one of the stupid one who drove through some of this high water, praying my car wouldn't die. My little Ford Escape got me home unscathed, except for some squeaky wet brakes.

More amazing picture from Michigan

This is the Mackinac Bridge in the fog on Labor Day. Taken by my Uncle Terry.

More fall color and more lighthouses.








Lighthouses

These are a few of the lighthouses we saw on our road trip through Michigan.














Leelanau County Michigan


Leelanu County Michigan is dotted with barns. These are a few we spotted during our road trip through Northwest Michigan.













The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island











The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island
















We decided to eat lunch at the Grand Hotel. As a teenager, my Grandparents took my sister and I to Mackinac Island and we stayed at the Grand Hotel for 3 or 4 days. That was so long ago, the dining hall and the long front porch looked the same, but most everything else looked redecorated.
