Totem Pole RV to TT St. Clair

Tuesday, we packed up and headed up I94 about 100 miles thru Detroit toward Port Huron, MI to our Thousand Trails - St. Clair preserve. That will be "Home" for the next 2 weeks. Actually it was a pretty uneventful trip. Kate got a chance to sit in Grandmas' seat for awhile and look out the giant windshield as well as be belted in on the Futon, playing with Charley.

I think Kate really likes Charley. Katie once again reminded us that we should take her to the pool. We headed to the pool, it is open, it is cold, it is not heated and it is colder than my threshold of pain. Katie played in the pool, and I sat on the edge with just my lower legs in the water. Katie would really like me to get all the way in the pool, but it is a definite "NO GO".We cooked hamburgers out on the grill, and Katie got her corn with her burger for dinner. Afterwards we had to take her home. We r

ea

lly would like to keep her for a few more days. We started out for her home and she started singing to us, and of course talking. When we finally arrived at her home she was happy to see Mom, Dad and her one sister Lindsay, who was at home.

Wednesday we take the day and head into Port Huron, Charley needs a spa treatment. That means, a haircut, shampoo, nails filed etc. We got the car washed, dropped Charley off at the Petsmart and went north to Lexington, MI. to the home of Peg and Bill Heine. The four of us went out for lunch, picked up Charley and caught up with other friends. Bill now has a golf cart so Bill and Tom went for a ride,

then Peggy and I get to went for a ride. Then, Charley gets her ride with Tom, then Bill takes her. Tell me she is not spoiled.
Peg made a

delicious roast beef dinner. Afterwards we headed home.

Thursday finds us at the local laundromat. The water here in the campground is terrible, lots of sulfer and iron in the water and all our whites will turn brown and stay that way so we go into town to the laundromat. We bring the clothes home still damp as we can use the dryer at home.

Friday, we will be with Peg and Bill this week-end for the Port

Huron to Mackinaw race festivities. The night before in downtown Port Huron is one long, drunken party and we will be going into town for that.

Bill and Peg's son Bob and wife Jackie live right on the Black River across from where all the boats dock before the race and they invited us to come and party with them. Then if the wind is right (any Easterly component) for Saturday, race day, we will go back out to Peg and Bill's because the boats come right offshore by their home, if not they go to the Canadian side of Lake Huron. This is a wait and see type thing.
