Hello Blogger Friends!! How is your weekend? Hubby and I went to Traverse City to see Fall Colors. Well it so happened that this year seems it is kind of late. But not late for snow I tell you we had snow last Saturday!! But that is another story to tell, it is like a freak show but not!! Anyways, so hubby and I went to Traverse City last Thursday, after checking in the hotel we immediately set our self to see the part of Sleeping Dune. I already had plan on driving along M-22 where it is known to have a scenic beauty but since it is already late in the afternoon, I told hubby we just have to drive to Empire, Michigan. Oh that place is beautiful we stumbled Empire Bluff Trail. But the photos below were from the Empire, Michigan beach, on the right and the left you can see the Sleeping Dune, and breaking news we indeed climb/walk to the top but when on top we thought it's the last no it is not we have to walk further up but cannot do it no more, stay tuned for more photos next week as we hike the trail of Empire Bluff Trail. Here are some of photos of the beach....

                                                                So here is the beach

                                       I move around to see the right side corner of the beach

                                                                      A little closer

                                                            Zooming in...........

                           This is the left side of the beach....I zoom this in...and hubby and I went to the top of that Hill, as well.

                         Michigan is a beautiful state. I have not seen all yet and were going to.

Did I say Monday is my busiest day of the week?

Well yes Monday is the busiest day the week because it comes after Sunday. And today is the first day of the month it's paying bills for me online or checking ^_^ To top it all when you are tightening your belt paying bills is not an easy job lol!! It's hard to see money earned and money gone that fast, lol!! But I think money is made to be spent I guess, though we don't have that much but at least we could pay off our bills and mind you we don't have credit cards so it's kind of easy feeling not to think of that 29.9% interest, gush!!

Yesterday, at church we had our first picnic. Turned out really well and food are overflowing. Men are grilling outside with sausages and burger as I was watching them grill I was thinking, what if I make my pork barbeque. Oh my the whole church will of course be smelling pork barbeque and the people around is going to drool. There is still another year of course this time I knew what to do and what to prepare. Hubby and I attended the 10:30 am mass and we were a bit late because we have to carry all the food and rice in the kitchen and lay them at the table. After the mass we had this little procession and an adoration for an hour. We had a long line of people to get the food and it's fun! After that we went to the restaurant to celebrate Ken and Marilyn's birthday but me and hubby are already full and so we don't ate anything. Then we went to Maxine's house and chit-chat after that we play dominoes until 9pm. It was a day of fun and when I get home I was so darn tired. ^_^

How's your Independence day celebration?

Me and my friends went to Pontiac Lake, Michigan to spend the Independence day. A friend of ours had this big pontoon boat and her husband invited us to join them. A bunch of friends came and we all had fun. We had turkey, pork barbeque, sausage, grilled chicken, potato salad, rice, rice cake, egg roll, and drinks ^_^ After dusk they had fireworks and it was so cool we are on the lake watching it. And the sunset was so amazing people can't stopped taking pictures it's very beautiful. I  hope every one had a good time yesterday and every one went home safe.

                    I had this yesterday my first time ^_^ to taste this and I do like it. But the alcohol label says 3.2 hmmm that is beyond my alcohol tolerance ^_^. I like the YELLOW label along the blue color on the bottle.
                         

 Some of the sunset photos that I took yesterday. The YELLOW  colors is so vivid I can't help but just in awed. It does look very beautiful in this photos but it's more gorgeous in person.

The lake has many islet or island and we stayed at one of the island. As we looked around I saw this swan could they be also a family? Trying to enjoy the Independence day? ^_^

                                                           A mom, dad and two kids?

Then as the pontoon boat go around the lake I happened to see this not so YOUTHFUL looking couple but how sweet they are. They are enjoying life it should be how cool is that huh??

Now this is the sign that I don't understand why No Wake? Can anybody clarify this? This I found at the boat launch area. 

Ain't this beautiful?

Happy 4th of July!!

MellowYellowMonday: Tulips

My MellowYellowMonday picture for this week is about Tulips!! Couple of years ago hubby and I visited Holland, Michigan to there Tulips Festival. I never knew there are more than a hundred varieties of tulips. They came out with different colors and shapes they are just awesome to look out. They are all so pretty, but one thing that I noticed about tulips they don't last long. I called them spring flowers actually because even here at my backyard my tulips will popped out in spring only but that is okey I still enjoyed them while they last. Here are my pictures from the festival.

Westview Orchard and Cider Mill

Today is kind of hectic or shall I say a busy day. I am supposed to go to my friends house for movie night out but hubby wanted to visit his Aunt and Uncle at Lapeer. We were at Lapeer for awhile and when we are about to leave I saw this advertisement in the newspaper about peaches in Romeo, Michigan. I asked hubby if he likes to go to Romeo he said yes and so off we go and with the help of our tomtom gps navigation we arrived at Romeo safe and sound. I like the town though, it is clean and neat  many  people were walking around town because it is the towns Peach festival, all the parking lots were full of cars but we didn't stop at the town rather we went to Westview Orchard and cider Mill a couple of miles going south from the town. When we get there I was amaze how huge is the farm I even didn't see the apple orchard nor the peach trees. After hubby park the car we went immediately to there bakery, where I find  people lining up to get there pies, cinnamon rolls, peach doughnuts, apple ciders, cherry garlic dip and other stuff. We only bought a gallon of apple cider and a half dozen of peach doughnuts. I am not a fond of doughnuts because it is sweet but when I tasted their doughnuts it was really good and with the apple cider it was double good. After we ate we walked across the driveway and went to this old building. The old building was a school building but they make it now as an ice cream house and next to the old school house is another old barn which they make it as a cider mill. I told hubby I wanted to go apple picking because they allow "U-pick" apples (some apple orchard don't allow it) but since it was a little bit late we leave the place but didn't go home immediately we went to Lordelyn's and Jeff's house because they invited us for a dinner. Though it was already late almost 5pm and all of my other Filipina friends went home already they still welcome us hehe. Stayed quite a bit at there house just talking about anything and everything till we said our goodbye,  I looked once again at their swimming pool, it looks  so inviting the water is clear but it was already kind of cold. I'd like to share some of the pictures that I took at the orchard. Next time I am going to an apple orchard I see to it that I will be picking apples to my hearts delight yung feel na feel ko na nasa America ako! ^_^
