Retirees In Training

Since October 2011 we have gone from a four bedroom home, to a one bedroom apartment, and finally to our RV.  Yes we became full timers on April 22^nd of this year.  Now the adventure really begins.

Our first stop was at Clearwater Campground in Ortonville, Michigan.  It is a very nice, family friendly place to stay.  The pictures are of the petting zoo they have.  It is early in the season and they are just getting the zoo stocked up. 

They have a beautiful lake with a path that goes all the way around.  As you walk through the path you go through the Forest of Faces.  You can see the faces carved in the trees.  We talked to the owner and he said he will have more carvings done this summer. 

Starting on the 23^rd of April we were joined at Clearwater by friends from the Blue Water RV group.  I really missed playing cards with these folks.  I can not wait to meet up with them again at the GLASS Rally in May.

 We also had a huge reason to celebrate on May 5^th. Our daughter Athena and her Uncle Steve got Associate degrees from Mott College. The day was even more special because her Grandpa McAllister was there to share in the excitement.

We have now settled at Holiday Shores in Durand.  I have not had time to walk around and take pictures but this place is also beautiful. Enjoy the warm weather and watch for my next blog update.
