Summer is Over

   We got back from our 10 days in Grand Haven on Tuesday. Jon was there for 2 days, Phillip 8 days, and Simon for 9 days. April and Adrianna were up for the second weekend when Silas was up and their are now nice new windows on the porch.  Silas had a great time with the beach and the sand but had a fever from teething that slowed him down and concerned us. The solar eclipse was Monday the 22nd but we watched on Television as it was better than what we could see.  I finished my summer at Silver Sneakers at the Y today as I start working on Monday at Elmwood as the building sub again.  Lukas and I were at Phil's dog sitting July 26-August 2 while he was in Florida with Kevin, Jason R. and Andy W.. We went to the First Ladies Museum and the Canton Brewery in downtown Canton. Earlier in July we visited Silas  for 2 days and some blueberry picking and Valplayso.  This summer Jane and I only went to 4 concerts at the parks but we went to Kalamazoo for a day.  We went to Jim and Betty's at their cottage for the last time as they are now moved back to Lansing because of Jim's health. I now have hypertension and have started taking Losartan Potassium for it and hopefully it will normalize my blood pressure. They finally paved Willow the middle of July but still have to put the final layer on the road so traffic is still restricted until then. NOAA confirmed 2016 was the hottest year on record as well as highest level of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. Global warming is real and the Earth is changing because of it and we will realize these effects soon. Trump is continuous chaos and his demise should be emanate. Summer is about over as we await the Fall.
