Here are some highlights of our trip to Grand Rapids last week:
- Getting a tour and meeting the very capable staff of Breton Ridge, the retirement home that will become Mom and Dad's new home.
- Visiting with Malcolm and Theda at their home in Kalamazoo. Talking about our kids and admiring Malcolm's work on the Vanagon.
- Driving on Leonard Street from GR to Grand Haven and up the coast of Lake Michigan with Mom and Dad. Having lunch in Pentwater, at a restaurant overlooking the lake with all the boats.
- Watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies with Rich & Sandy, and Mom & Dad. Spectacular!
- Taking walks on Calvin’s campus & preserve and to Reed’s Lake.
- Celebrating the marriage of Kendra and Pete. Enjoying food and fun with the Sytsma family in the backyard of Coby & Rob’s place.
- Hearing Mike preach at Woodlawn, and being reminded of Dad.
- Watching Joe pretend to towel dry himself and Anne stand on her head (a demonstration of creating new neural pathways in our brain as we age).
- Enjoying great meals, talks and a comfy place to stay with Rich and Sandy. Sandy runs a wonderful bed & breakfast, only without the pay.
