Last weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a scrapbook retreat out in the beautiful autumn woods on Center Lake in Tustin. It was nice to get away but it sure didn't last long enough and I'm ready to go again!
I took this photo from the Bible Camp we were staying at... it turned out nice so I entered it in the fall photo contest at Michigan.org.
I like autumn but I HATE what comes next. I'm already wearing long johns and I can't even bake cinnamon rolls for breakfast and warm up the house due to the oven being out of order at the moment. (see previous post) It's already so cold in the mornings you can see your breath and have to scrape a thick layer of ice off your car when you go to leave for work!
I hope we can still find worms tomorrow night for fishing on Saturday. I'm trying to get the hubby to bring the boat up to Lake Mitchell in Cadillac, which isn't far from Tustin, and the colors are at absolute peak right now... gorgeous. We've never had the boat out on Lake Mitchell.... we only just got it fixed this month, but we've hung out at the boat ramp before. It's so pretty up there.
Eventually we'd like to buy a cottage on Lake Mitchell, since the parents sold the "family" cottage up north. Ours will have a clause in the deed that PROHIBITS it from being sold away from the family!!! It broke my kids hearts when they did that. I chose Lake Mitchell because it's closer to home. The old cottage was about 3.5 hours away, Lake Mitchell is just over an hour.
We also have a new kitty. He was living in the boat all summer. At first I didn't "want" him. He would sit on my van, and even hop inside if I left it open. Katie was putting out
bowls of food for him and every stray in the neighborhood was having a picnic in my yard!! It really made me mad when Jessica started opening my canned chicken and feeding him that. That stuff isn't cheap and I definitely did NOT buy it for a stray cat to eat! We didn't really have the money to spend on a new cat either. But he is so sweet and loving. After awhile he even won my heart. He is just the sweetest little thing.

One day last month we took him in to the vet to get tested to be sure he had no diseses he can give to Austin. He was disease free, so we had his shots done. Then we took him just 2 weeks ago and had him declawed.
