Two Week Countdown

Our summer ended with a bang. We had such a great Labor Day week-end, both weatherwise and plenty of business. Now that summer is officially over, we had a lot to do. Between busy days and rainy weather, we were behind on maintenance. Allie, Sara & I spent an afternoon on the porches. The girls scraped and I painted behind them. Rocking out to "Queen" made the day fly by.

Mark held down the fort,
renting canoes & kayaks.
'Cede tried to figure out if she could "dog paddle" a kayak.

We started our two week maintenance countdown at the close of business on Labor Day. Never has a title been more appropriate, we LABORED! Our to do list had been growing all summer and our son's wedding was right around the corner. Our number one priority was to sealcoat the driveway.















Many thanks to"Jim-Daddy", Matt, Ryan, & Joe.

We finished all of the other jobs in our maintenance marathon in time for the wedding and it didn't stop us from having wonderful guests.

We had a new group of kayak ladies who traveled in style. They paddled from Grayling to Mio, 49 miles, but they chose shuttle service back to Borchers B&B every night instead of camping.

Janette writes, " .. We enjoyed the comfortable accommodations and the wonderful breakfasts. Also, a special thanks to Tim for the good service and for his good nature in putting up with all our nonsense. He was a great sport."

Our Fort Wayne crew was back and as delightful as ever. The Tucker's daughter, Abigail, is getting married in November. Deb & Cheryl & I talked weddings.
