Grand Rapids, MI... I have nothing to say really. It decided to start raining like crazy the minute we crossed the Michigan border. Needless to say, I didn't feel like exploring much in the rain. But, our show went well, we had an excellent crew in a great space, so I can't really complain. I just hope Michigan gets a bit better.<br>

Tuesday 7/28<br><br>Photography day is here or was. Dan the model called to ask permission to bring a model friend along and so did. Started at 10 am and finished at about 2pm having made over 1000 images. Now the processing of those images, down to a very few, begins when I get back in town. Dan and Braxton both said it was fun and I had a good time as well. Time to think about supper and getting this place cleaned up. Tomorrow its back to da lake and &#8230;

... lake looks like it comes up and under the cabin, VERY nice. It is very quite here so much so that the only sound are fingers on keyboard, or is it just my hearing. Anyway, very nice and I have made contact with the model for tomorrow and all sounds good. And so that's a wrap for today.

If it's just a broken toe, a little duct-tape and I'll be good to go! If it's more than that I guess Bill and Dave will have to carry me everywhere. I hope they've been working out!

Today, I'm putting together the final preparations for my trip. The Haiti Delegates met one last time this morning to load the bus we are taking to the airport. Let's just say the bags are really full! I'm double, triple checking all my belongings because obviously there is no Target in Haiti to buy what you forgot. I've weighed my carry-ons several times to make ...

... be handy to be able to read Cyrillic. I guess I'm more of a control freak than I'd like to admit because I'm starting to stress about the lack of control I have on this process. So, on Friday, I'll be treating myself to a visit to the chiropractor followed by a massage! Happy Valentine's Day everyone.

... right now.) We also arranged to have dinner with Janette and lunch with Carol Pillion. On our last day there we had lunch with some of Fred's friends from Waukesha. We were able to get to Cross on Easter. Bob recognized us during the welcoming part. We also got to the Adult Center to see the ladies. Being back in the US was a bit of a shock.
