A fall day in the life of a retired woman!!







October 23, 2008

What a great day it was! Elk Rapids was beautiful in its many fall colors and bright sunshine! It was a day that you really didn't want to end!

Sadie and I took pictures of the many sights that we remembered this summer. The beaches humming with many people swimming and playing! The Harbor Day memories! It all is coming to an end.
As my pictures tell you.

The Edward Grace Harbor has only a few stragglers, time to get those boats put away for the season!

The Memorial Park downtown, has snow fence up all across the beautiful sandy beach....waiting for the snow to come!

A sail boat takes one last sail of the season in Lake Michigan.
The soft vibrant fall colors paint a beautiful back drop for that picture.

The sea gulls were taking a much need sun bath today, probably gearing up for the trip south! Some sea gulls were going over the details of their trip.

We noticed the new street signs that popped up! Where did they come from? Did we get an inheritance from someone? Take a look what do you think of them?

The parking lot where the carnival stood has a few cars in the parking lot. The board walk had a last minute fisherman.

The blue sky, blue water and beautiful fall colors made a spectacular day out of October 23, 2008.

Today is Rick and Lori's 9th Anniversary, a day after the 3rd anniversary of Dad's death, it is Pam Krogh's 54th birthday. Suzi and Bob Calu celebrate their anniversary today, also. Today, is a very special day to many of you! Congratulations!!

Today was a very special day for me, I saw colors, and beauty that many people haven't seen! I am a very lucky person, to enjoy this wonderful day, with all the beauty and love around me! Thank you!
For giving me this day, Lord!

Don't forget to look at all the pictures.

And one more thing....lets vote in Jimmy Buffett for President!
