New location and new friends

This is Frank, Barbara and Buddy...new friends who are parked next to us at the KOA in Mackinaw City. We got to share the afternoon together talking about life, politics, education, camping, etc. Afterwards we went to dinner together. It was really good to make new friends with folks from our part of the world...Carolina and Georgia...They are moving on tomorrow, going west but were able to give us the scoop on the places we are planning on visiting in the next few days.
These weren't your usual tee shirts. Thought they would give everyone a laugh. These were in the window of one of the upscale teeshirt shops in the the City of Mackinaw.


We had some really good fish and chips for dinner. Afterwards we took a walk around this scenic village. Lots of tee shirt shops, fudge shops, gift shops, and places to wet your whistle....lots of places to spend your bucks.



I have never seen so many flavors of popcorn. These lovely ladies did their very best to make a sale---real cuties!!!

Everywhere I go I find beautiful flowers. Amazing since it is really pretty chilly here. Barely 70 degrees with some pretty brisk winds.


Well tomorrow or the next day....sometime soon, we will be traveling to the island, the falls, the locks.....more later from your Happy Travelers.

Lake Shore Camping Resort, Davison, MI

These are several pictures of our current address. It is a large--very large--campground with cabins. We are outside of Flint, MI, northwest of Detroit. There is an outdoor pool and a beach with a playground. I couldn't help but think about my grandchildren...they would love the beach.




We share this lake with these guys.

Sunset -- isn't it beautiful.

Home on Wheels

My camera died today while we were visiting a museum of wonderfully restored old cars. So we headed for Best Buy and picked up a new Canon SD1300IS. I took a few pictures of the inside of our home on wheels to try out my new purchase.




More later from your ever Happy Travelers....meandering through Michigan on the way to the Upper Peninsula.

Wapakoneta, Ohio

Between the buildings on the main steet, Auglaize Street, is a small park area with this statue by its entrance.
This area is behind the main downtown area. The Farmers Market is held here each Saturday depending on the weather.
In the downtown area, there was an old time barber shop, a lovely old fire station, and old movie theatre, plus container after container of flowers along the side walks.



We took a walking tour of Wapakoneta's historical residential area and I took lots of pictures. Here are a variety of the lovely old homes in various styles--Victorian, Craftsman, bungalows, etc. All of them were beautiful in their own way, some needed a little work but all had such character.







We leave for Davison, Michigan on Thursday. We are holding fast to the motto "Happiness is the journey, not the destination". More later from your very Happy Travelers.

Roscoe Village, Ohio

We drove to this beautiful little village, once a canal hub, and this lovely quilt was hanging in their Visitors Center.
Mr. and Mrs. Funny Bone....just for your enjoyment.

These are a few of the restored buildings in Roscoe Village as well as a lovely home.




This village was a canal spot. This picture is of a canal boat with 3 suites. The captain and his family actually lived on the boat. It now sits in a garden.

Don't you just love flowers....I do. The following are just a few pictures of some of the lovely flowers in Roscoe Village.




Tomorrow we are off to Wapakoneta, Ohio, outside of Dayton. More later from your Happy Travelers
