Grandpa's August visit

What a phenomenal visit to the cottage. We had dinner at John Schneider and Sharon Emery's cottage on Lake Huron, and got to visit with Meegan Holland, too. Sharon made fabulous Mojitos and a smoked salmon appetizer (made with John's Lake Huron-caught Chinook). We had a nice stroll down to the lake and sat in awe of the rocky beauty of the Lake Huron shore. Pa heard the story of John's fishing on the lake, and was appropriately impressed and enthused about the salmon we ate, which was caught by John at 100 feet in depth. Pa got to tell a few stories of his own, too.

The lovely Sharon with her buddy Ken.

Pa looked over the collection of fishing lures (many made in Michigan at a factory Pa was familiar with) that John had framed over his fireplace. Most of the lures were from the garage at our cottage on Black Lake. They have a good home.
