Kenworth Service & Sibling Weekend

Currently Larry and I are sitting at a Kenworth Dealer in Grand Rapids MI to have a oil change and check up on the truck. One of these things that you planned on doing all summer and finally getting around to it when it's almost time to leave. You'd think we'd learn. This place could be used as a summer home, lounge has huge recliners, flat screen TV, rest room, separate shower and even a laundry room. Next door is a kitchen. Since the place is open 24/7 a person could settle right in here.

Last weekend was our sibling weekend at Bob and Diane's at Houghton Lake. The weather could of been better but it didn't stop us from having a great time. Saturday morning Larry and Stint picked us up around 6:30am. We did a drive thru at the McDonalds down the road for coffee and a breakfast sandwich than hit the road for the 2 1/2 hr drive to Bobs. We got there and shortly after Nadene and Mike came over from their cottage at Lake George. Diane had some bakery goodies that we had to try out than us girls took off to do some shopping and the guys headed out on the lake for fishing. We normally don't shop quite as long as we did that day but we had a mission to find the right container for Nadene's kitchen utensils so that always makes shopping interesting. Once we found the right one it was time to call it quits and head back to Diane's house. By the sounds of it we had a whole lot better shopping than the guys did on fishing.

The weather had cleared up some so we decided to take the pontoon over to the Comfort Inn for dinner which is about 8 miles or so going by water. The dinner was really good and we had the waitress take this picture of the siblings.

The restaurant is really nice and the windows behind us overlooks the lake.

Here's our family - starting from the left - Bob, Diane, Larry, me, Mike, Nadene, Larry (twin) and Stint. Summer is always busy with family and things but we always find one weekend for us to get together.


So now it's time to head back to Bob's house and guess what the weather changed while we were inside. The wind picked up and it looked like the rain could come at any time. The ride back sure was interesting with the rough water but Bob got us home in good shape. But to pass the time and keep us entertained my brother always comes thru.

As you can see the water was a little rocky so it was nice to get back to Bob's place.

That's it for now. We're still at the KW Dealer, so far we are only 2 1/2 hrs pass the appointment

time and the truck is still sitting outside. Going to be a long long day. Till next time.  ..................
