Since a picture's worth a thousand words....

Love birds, enjoying "summer" in Manistee.

Thanks again, O Jeromins, for visiting!

Impressive!  Especially when it's crusing through the "canal," the narrow part of the Manistee R. thru downtown.

Friends and soon-to-be musical virtuosos!

Our most recent family photo shoot, Lake MI in the background.

Mom, come soon! She's getting bigger by the minute!

We're tempted to call her "smiley face."  She's practically always happy!

The catch-of-the-day - a Sheepshead (or Freshwater Drum).  To confess, I thought it was either a salmon or a very large trout the way it fought at first (and pulled line out) (and I was using light tackle).  Most people don't keep them but the filets are in the fridge/freezer - I'm going to give this guy a taste. Come on over, dad, and we'll do some fishin'!
