Checking In

It's been longer than I thought it would be since I last posted. 

We had a good - but really hot - weekend away. We tried to limit time in the sun and - to be honest - couldn't stand out in it long. I sweated even standing still lol. Luckily, the site we were on was in the shade for all but a few hours of the day. There were a couple of showers, but they didn't really mess with the weekend too much. There was a strong storm in Kalamazoo while we were gone, but thankfully the only thing we lost was a tree limb in the back garden. 

Tuesday though we lost power from 1am -7pm. Apparently, somebody crashed into a pole at the top of the street in a hit and run and took out a huge area of power. Sigh. It was a hot uncomfortable day. There were several times when we notified that our power was back on...only it wasn't so then I would have to go report another outage. Finally, it did come on!












The mini cabin and some sunrises. The mornings were lovely and peaceful, though during the day it was quite busy. I suppose everyone had the same idea on hot days to get to the beach. I'm not sure how they can sit out in it. I can't do that any longer. 

Back home for a little bit now...less time than I thought, but more in the next post. 

Hope everyone is doing okay. I've been trying to catch up with blogs.

  2. Gorgeous photos. The mini cabin looks cute but probably a good thing it was in shade most of the time.
    It is ridiculously hot here in Suffolk and going on for another week they say, then of course schools break up so it will surely rain!

  3. I'm glad you had a lovely, if warm, weekend away and your home didn't suffer any damage from the severe storms. Being without power for any length of time during hot weather is horrible, isn't it? Lovely sunrise photos!

    1. It was horrible. Not sure if it's worse in summer or winter lol. It was just a little more annoying as they kept saying it was on and it wasn't.

  6. I bet that was a lovely break. Even though there were a couple of hiccups a change of routine is always welcome.
