Got my internet fixed....

July 3 – Beautiful morning out today!  Supposed to get hot and it did!  Once breakfast was out of the way we stopped by the office to drop off a receipt and the box and papers from the walkie talkies we’d been issued.  Ugh!  Ended up chatting with the owners and workers longer than planned so finally got on the road!

Today we started at the computer place and he took less tan 10 minutes to fix my issue at NO charge!  Then Bill dropped me at Bed, Bath and Beyond while he took the truck to the car wash.  I needed my favorite coffee, coconut mocha, and I had a rug I got out west last summer that the edges frayed when washed and the store in Winter Garden gave me a hard time about it, since I had already returned one of the 2 I bought for the same issue.   They wanted me to pay the shipping and I wasn’t having it!  So this store never questioned it, just ordered a new one to be sent and that was that!

Muskegon South Pier Lighthouse

There are 2 lighthouses in Muskegon so we headed to the Visitor Center which is near the marina area and checked out the exhibit, chatted with the lady there, picked up a slew of brochures and got directions to the lighthouses.  One is in my book so I got my stamp for it, Muskegon South Pier lighthouse, built in 1903.  It’s red, I love the red ones or striped ones the best!  Of course only on certain days and times can you go on a tour and up to the top and today was not the day.  We stopped first at the ferry terminal since in August we’re taking it from here to Milwaukee for a few days.  Then a few winding miles further along the coast of Lake Michigan we found the

Breakwater Lighthouse

beach and lighthouse.  There was quite a crowd on the beach.  Looks like Daytona with no waves!  It’s a decent walk from the parking to the lighthouse and by the time I got back I was hot.  It was 90 today and no breeze, I thought I was back in Florida!

Lunch time!!!  We hadn’t had Mexican in a while and I had spotted a couple of places on the drive.  We picked El Tapatio which had a decent numbers of cars out front.  It was good!  I had Queso Fundido and a side tamale.  Well, it was good but not served like our favorite place in Winter Garden.  I also should have taken a pill before eating due to my hernia.  Not fun!

On the pier

No more stops on the way home.  Bill lit out right away to check on what the guys were doing with an RV down in our row and later came back to let some one use our RV level.  Later I didn’t see him outside or his chair and found him across the lane in his chair along the lake in the shade.  He had a book of course and had a beverage but was just enjoying the lake.  I was slaving away on the computer catching up on my blog posts!  We start officially working tomorrow so there won’t be much to talk about!

I did put a load of laundry in but won’t have to really cook tonight since we still have meatloaf.  I’m thinking we will grill tomorrow night but if not I’ll come up with something!  Will make a strawberry jello pie tonight and will take some to Jean and Shawn and Kim and Paul.  I keep wanting to say, Jean and Paul, as we have good friends by those names!

Will try to post a couple more days this evening and start writing some lighthouse stamp request letters so I can get my book filled!
