Mary's Stamping Happenings: Stamp & Camp with Mary

Sunday June 16, 2019 Wells State Park Father’s Day

Went to church at 7:30 to Holy Spirit my family church. Don went to wash the truck. Met Joe Lauer there and went to breakfast to catch up with what is going on in his life. We great to see him and be able to talk about Tom.

Headed back to the campsite. Most everyone was pulling out when we came back. IT rained a little but not much still a little cold and overcast. I did my FB live and did a few other things for my Stampin’ Up! work. Figured out that I could get all my crafting supplies in the trailer or under storage so I am happy. That is a big a thing for me to have all my stuff have a place.

Then we had dinner and got ready for our traveling day tomorrow. I called Aunt Marilyn to see if she was going to be home. Meigan called and we talked over all the things she was doing. She is so excited about Autralia I am happy for her.

Monday June 17, 2019 Straits State Park.

Left JW Wells park and I drove the truck and Don took the RV. On my way from Cedar River to Escanaba there were a about 12 -1 5 deer that I say crossing the road and in traffic. For a 10 AM start that was a lot. It was a beautiful sunny warm day.

I stopped to visit with Aunt Marilyn. Spent about 3 hours and had lunch with her. I do miss my family and she is so much like my ma that it is good to see her and just talk.

Stopped to get some Pasties before I got to the campground. The campground sure looks different when it is not raining or freezing cold out.

Don and I went to walk around downtown St Ignance and bought a bottle of Cherry Riesling wine from Traverse Bay Winery. Also bought some Peanut Brittle like we need more candy but so good. Came home and ate dinner then walked around the campground.

They have a trail that you can walk to see the Mackinac Bridge and we went to to different locations was great to see. Also when we were down at the straits viewing the bridge there was an insect hatch and that there were so many gnats it was like a cloud.

June 18, 2019 Straits State Park to Sleepy Hollow State Park.

Was a busy day moving. Left is a drizzle but was very nice when we got to Sleepy Hollow State Park. I really hate Don and I traveling separately as it just is not very fun. After the bridge I drove the RV. I hate driving over the Big Mac and with the RV I just didn’t know if I could.

Stopped in St. Johns for gas and still beat Don to the Park though he said he did stop for lunch and a few other times. We go in about 1:00.

Meigan is working so won’t see her until tomorrow, we are taking her for brunch. We also have to look at plane flights for her and contacts, she just has a list for us. Can’t wait to see her. We are also going to see some condos in the afternoon.

June 19, 2019 Sleepy Hollow State Park

So we were to Pick Meigan up between 9 and 10 got there about 950 and went to Panera for Brunch. Then went and did some shopping with our Kohls cash. Raining for awhile but it cleared up when Meigan was suppose to start her tour.

Don and I went to Princess Thai for lunch and it rained the entire time but we were inside and then it was like magic as we were putting on our raincoats to step out it just stopped.

We went and toured 2 Condos. One in Okemos and one downtown on Albert. The Okemos one I was a little concerned for the basement as you could tell it had been wet and I just don’t want the hassle about that again. The Albert was a nice one and we got to talk to the selling agent, so got to find out a lot more Still don’t know what to do. Don is leaving it up to me and I just really want to travel around some more but he really wants to find a place, I think if we find a place we will not be traveling anymore and I love what we are doing. Well we will see want to look at a few more places.

After we went back to the campground as Meigan had an evening tour.

Rain started about 10 PM

June 20th, 2019

Rained all night long at least we didn’t float. Going to pick Meigan up around 11:00 as she has a meeting with her supervisor now at 10:30 Finally stopped raining time we got into town.

Picked Meigan Up from her meeting and went to Lunch went to Great Harvest Bread as Princess Thai was not open yet. Had good sandwiches except for Don, he said his was to watery and the bread didn’t withstand it. I loved my BLT.

Went to Meigan’s and I used her internet to finish up my on-line party. We have no bars for Verizon and not many with ATT and not always reliable here.

Don did laundry and we sat and talked with Meigan. She had another tour at night so we will pick her up for the weekend tomorrow.

Was a beautiful day at the campground sun out and very nice.

June 21, 2019 Sleepy Hollow

Happy First day of Summer and boy is it nice. We are heading into East Lansing to see a few more Condos. I am really leaning more toward On Top of the World and having a seasonal camp site in MI. We are going to look up in Traverse city on Monday.

Say a really nicely priced fixer upper west Lansing a little far from MSU. Then we saw a really nice one just across the street from MSU on MAC. Loved that one but a little bit beyond our price point. Though we could do so much being just across the street from MSU.

Picked up Meigan and had MSU Dairy store ice cream. Love their ice cream. Both Don and Meigan got a shower in before we headed back to camp. IT was a beautiful day and evening no rain and everything drying out. Made S’mores and tried out my grubstick. Really glad I didn’t buy it and won it. I would have been really disappointed if I had spent that much money on it. The Marshmallows fell off the fork and if I used the basket burned the crackers then. The cheapy $1.89 worked better. We will try hot dogs but don’t think this one is a go for us.

Had a great time sitting around and talking most of the night. It was the longest day all year and that was great.

June 22, 2019 Sleepy Hollow State Park.

Great day. Meigan and I started it out with a walk to the lake and it was super. Then we went into town and looked at more condos. Don really wants something. These were nice but again a ways out of the area.
