Spent the morning at the window watching the bald eagles fish and then rest in the trees at the next property. What a sight. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of it.
Since Lake Mac didn’t freeze, there has been the occasional motor boat cruising around. It reminds me of those days when I was 16 and driving the candy-apple-red Ford Fairlane 500 convertible with the top down and the heater at full-blast. As a matter of fact, there must be another 16-year-old up here with the same idea, as I saw a convertible parked on 8th Street with its top down.
There was a “New Bride Show” on Saturday with vendor prizes, door prizes, and more held at the Holland Fish & Game Club. Hope those prizes weren’t for bullets and bows and the like. Seems to me that this might have been a better venue for a “New Groom Show.” Speaking of which…
A Cabela store is going to be built in nearby Grandville. We’ve made the pilgrimage to the one in Hammond, Indiana, and Zoe was allowed inside in her stroller. She kept wanting to party on one of the pontoon boats. I might have agreed if they were serving pina coladas.
Red Barn Treasures in Saugatuck had a closing sale over the weekend. Ruth said it was her parents’ business and time to draw it to an end. The proceeds were being donated to the local Habitat for Humanity. That’s neighbors helping neighbors. Thankfully the Red Barn Playhouse will remain open.
Watched a lone man on a paddleboard in Lake Michigan. One slip and he was dead. Seemed like a crazy chance.
The West Ottawa basketball teams raised more than $54,000 for cancer research during their Pink Out game. Hurrah for them and all those who made donations.
Til later…
