Calvin High School Friends

A group of friends that graduated from Calvin Chr. High School got together at Carol's house. We always have great food, sit by the fire, and laugh at stories that some of us tell with much detail! This year it was a small group - Irene, Carol, Carole, Jack, Jim, Gary, Rog, John and Cindy. It was a beautiful night! Next year, we hope for a bigger crowd. Thanks to Carol and Ken who always open their home and great yard for the group.

Labor Day Weekend!

Jack and I spent Labor Day weekend at Koeze's cottage. They were both busy this weekend and offered the cottage for us to use. It was a beautiful weekend! We had sunny, sunny weather -- we could lay in the sun for hours. We spent alot of time having a fire in the fire pit on their patio. We walked everyday to the beach and then walked to the beach to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. I go just a little crazy when taking pictures of sunsets - I hope you enjoy them. Thank you Pam and Tim for letting us use your cottage - it was a great time away.

Friends since High School

Every year around this time, Irene, Julie and I go out for dinner to celebrate Irene and Julie's birthdays. This year we went out to Holland and ate at the Ottawa Beach Inn. After dinner, we gave each other our birthday gifts and always end up laughing so hard. This year Irene and Julie were trying to pose like the card Irene gave Julie. This is probably one of many shots, because they were laughing so hard. The other picture shows us on the pier at Holland with a terrific sunset in the background!

Friends in Portland

A couple of times each year, Pam, Patti, sometimes Liz, and I meet at a cajun restaurant in Portland, Michigan. Patti lives in Lansing so this is a half-way point for us to get together and renew our friendship. This time, Liz couldn't make it. We ate outside right by the river, it was a beautiful night and after we ate a bite, we went for a walk around Portland. It is always wonderful to meet and talk, laugh, and enjoy each others company.
