Ghosts and Legends of a Fifty-five Foot Bus

Yesterday, I helped Becky and Gene Solgate move out of the apple business on the corner of Vassar Road and M-46. They had a lot of machinery that they had rented to the Tompkins when they bought the business about three years ago. Everything is move now.
Today, I have a Ghosts and Legends tour in Bay City. This is a step-on tour so it will involve the big buses. That is a problem for the roads at Pine Ridge Cemetery. I may have them park outside. All told, it should be a busy day.
I think I will go over to Dunham's sporting goods to see what they have . I also need to take my book on the Fletcher Native American site back to the Bay City Library.

Labor Day 2007

Today was Labor Day. I uploaded the video I took of the Frankenmuth Dam to YouTube. That makes two I have there now. There was over 80 videos about Frankenmuth on the site.
We spent the rest of the afternoon at the pool with Jim and Fran Hayes, John and Nancy Welch and the Sipes. All of us feel that the days at the pool for 2007 are numbered. Of course, it isn't the same now that all the kids but Julie's are grown.

Daughter, Katy's, bridal shower

My daughter, Kathryn, had her bridal shower on Saturday the 14 of July. I must say we had a great time. There were about fifty people there.  Fritz's had a buffet that everyone was able to take part in.  The shower was set up in the upstairs banquet room.  All the guys were invited too so we got to play different shower games, (new for most of us).

Bill Moyers and the Iraqi War

Bill Moyers summarizes the run up to the war in Iraq and the mistakes that were commonly tolerated.  Everyone in this country should watch this video.  Unfortunately, few will and mistakes will be made again.
 
Many, many people knew this information or a version at the beginning of the war.  Many said so on the internet.  International experts made the point that there was danger to our interests in this war.  It became terribly unpopular to express these views and the error of invasion was commited.

Today is Sunday. We went to see Bob and Leigh's house being built on Old State Road just outside of Sand Lake, Michigan.
We rode to all the hunting sites on the Kawasaki Mule that Leigh has. The road is getting better there.
