Thanksgiving

November has been a recharge our batteries month. 'Cede and I spent some time on the road with Mark. We didn't take any long adventures, but enjoyed time spent together in the tri-state area. We were on the road when the high winds came through in October and had to have an escort across the Mackinaw Bridge, but other than that it was uneventful.

We have had time for coffee breaks and catching up. Needless to say, not much to blog.



Two years ago, our sons were living in New York City and we all went to the Macy's Parade. I was not able to be a balloon wrangler (my bucket list), but it was a blast.

It was great to spend time
with our sons and soon to be
daughter-in-laws.





Michael, Teresa, Kristin
Cheri, Mark, and Mark E.









We have so much to be thankful for this year; friends - old & new, a beautiful spot on the river, a great family.

Mother Nature smiled on us for most of the canoe season and business was good and we are thankful.

We are also thankful that our son, Michael, and his wife, Teresa, were able to be home with us this year for a quiet Thanksgiving.

It was fun to share in the food preparation and kick back together.

The Hilbrecht brothers stopped by while home from college. We are thankful for the staff that takes care of us and become a part of our extended family. Many of our past staffers keep in touch, allowing us the opportunity to watch their families grow.


We are also thankful that we had butter shaped like a turkey. (Mark is holding the sculpture.)

'Cede was thankful that there were leftovers!

Lastly, our business and our guests mean so much to us and we are thankful for each person that touched our lives this past year.
