The Grand Rapids Art Museum Visit

One of many Spencer Family jewels on display

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Nancy Fleming, Helen Setter and Lauraann Fisher

We dinned at the Grand Rapids 1913 Room and shared a slice of wedding cake.  Next time I would skip the meal and dine on cake and a spot of tea.  $10 a slice.

Princess Diana's wedding cake recreated for the exhibit in Grand Rapids.

Field Trip for Allegan County Historical Society

Some of us needed dinner from Crane's before the meeting!

The New Richmond town hall is the oldest still used today.  Guest speaker was John Pahl.

The storm on Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Fierce winds kept the seagulls grounded

 Winds were gusting over 65 m.p.h
 A spray of water looking like snow
Natures warning "stay off the pier"

Building the waves

Rolling onto the beach

Feeling over whelmed

Building up.....

There she blows......
I'm on my way home, beaten down by the brutal winds and sand blasted.








































Fierce
