Labor Day huh?

Thanks to the Hornet stings last week, Gene was on put on prednisone which made him hyperlapse Gene. There was no rest on Labor Day weekend for this guy. 

So leave it to my hubby to find yet another hornets nest. 

Old wives take (because I  becoming that expert in hornets) if the nest is low hanging then the winter will be hard. Well this is yet another low hanging one. 

These little buggers are very mean. They attacked the flames and even the window. Sherries plan worked flawlessly. 

She is the McGuyer of hornet extermination. 

The rain did not damper Lucy's spirit but a bath did. 

So back in July hubby and I found the Michigan Flywheelers. He was dying to go back and see the swap meet. His desire is to find an old hit and miss motor that is small so we can make ice cream with it. 

The start of the day trip lead to blue skies. Hubby days it's only beautiful weather in Michigan. 

The good ol oil puller provided a ride to weary people

I got to hear and see the Funk in motion!

Reminds me of the Polar Express for some reason.

Simple but man did things run back in the day. 

People were very proud of their equipment. There were things there that I didn't know still existed. 

This is the perfect size for what we want. 

After a great morning of tractors we hit some cider!

Back to Virtue were we got to your the cider house, never in a million years would I have imagined this building is two stories underground. 

My favorite cider from here is the mitten. It's placed in the bourbon oak barrels up top there to give the cider that sweet honey tone that takes me back to Kentucky. 

Another close for cider is McIntosh. Had to get a cider doughnut!

Only in Michigan do you step back into the industrial revolution to then go to the coastal life. 

South haven has my favorite lighthouse. 

Ran down through St. Joe because I had to have my Silver Beach pizza. 

Got to go seen the St. Joe lighthouse first. 

The waves were very choppy. Water was coming over the pier. 

Sunset was a sweet pizza but no sweet view as a family decided to stand right in front of me out of 50 yards of clear space they chose in front of me. Oh well enjoy the pizza. My favorite is the undertow with mushrooms. 

Busy busy busy

It's been while since I've posted. It's that time of the year where we all come out of hibernation. Hibernation?!?!?  Really it's the friggin middle of May and it is still freezing. 

Some thing's to catch up on. I received my accolades for a great race year. 

 2013 was a great year of racing with my race family. I was able to meet amazing people from all over the region. Broken leg and all, I still managed to pull the champion title. I wish it could be because I'm a great driver but it's not. There are amazing women drivers out there that I'm blessed to call friends and compete with. 

Hubby got his awards too!

Hoping this will be another great year with no broken limbs or car parts!

 

Vettes for vets was a great event, I even got interviewed on the local news.

111 Vettes attended!

New adventure this year is kayaking. Great sport for someone with a broken leg. 

Can you tell which one is mine?

We are doing some practice runs but our goal is to take deer creek and the Tippy for a town to town trip. So far we've hit Eilers pond and the Delphi canal. 

Can't wait to take them to Michigan!!

Definitely wears you out. Need a nap

So hubby's goal is to stay 45 nights in the rv. As of this posting we have stayed 3 nights.  Hope we reach this goal because it justifies to me that despite my injury I'm still active and not slowing down.

Kicking off the start of a new race year. 

Bring it on 2014!!!
