It's a rainy, dreary day today! The party last night was great. Saw classmates I hadn't seen in so many years! and we all still look the same! (well, some of us!) Going out to friends at Gull Lake today and then we head for Georgia! Will post some pics later tonight.

Today went to classmates house from 1-3pm. Only about 20 there. More will cine for dinner at the Radisson downtown Kalamazoo. Will post pics of that later. Seems as though everyone looks the same, just OLDER! Wonder why? There's always a few that will not come to a class reunion.....reasons? they got too fat, or it's too hard! (those live IN town!).
The "brain" came from Seattle! Has been there since he graduated, and worked for Boeing. This is his first reunion. I have personally made 4 of them.

I am still learning how to create these blogs!! Nothing will be acceptable till I "get it".
The streets up here are horrible, all need repair. It is an "old" town, and I am so glad I live in Florida! I can't believe some of the old houses and buildings are still standing! There are many new buildings, businesses. Kazoo was once named the "Mall City" when they closed the main street to traffic. It was one of the first malls created in the U.S.
I lived on "Christmas Card Lane"............another first. Residents made Christmas cards from wood, painted them, etc. and stood them in their front yards, lit by a single light usually. I don't know whether they do it any more.

A day of riding around past homes/haunts

Hello from sunny Kalamazoo! Went riding today (in car) to find where I used to live on the farm in Lawrence, MI. Couldn't find it! Even called # 1 son to see if he remembered how to get there. Tried, but no weeeeo! Then on to 3 mile lake to find friends......a dry run, so to say. Did, but places aren't numbered, so didn't find # 67. Will go out Sunday to see them.
Computer wouldn't access here at this Best Western till this afternoon, when Rock got a "link" to put into computer. Works at the moment!
Lots of fresh farm fruits and veggies on roadsides.
Had a very nice visit with Florida neighbors in Holland MI yesterday. Took a drive along the lake.

We are in Michigan now, on our last leg of our vacation around the states! Heading for Kalamazoo tomorrow and my high school reunion at St. Augustine! There is supposed to be a good turnout. We had about 90 students in our class.
Rock is holding up.......we will both be glad to get back to the cabin in GA and do some serious riding! I am going to try to keep this blog up and keep everyone informed on our travels.
Aren't computers wonderful?????
