Mikie and I chose Ashland, Virginia, as a trial location for being snowbirds. We are 20 miles from our son's home. And, it’s an interesting city we’ve seen on AMTRAK. The tracks for freight and AMTRAK run down the middle of the main street. youtube.com/live/D5kKdEBmrYU

Today is a monumental day—it's my LAST radiation treatment for prostate cancer! Back in April I received the news that I had prostate cancer. I'm thrilled to share that everything looks great now! I’m ready to dive back into doing my retirement thing. Let the celebrations begin!

Day #5 of the adventure Today we toured the Stormy Kormer factory in Ironwood and bought some hats. Had lunch in Mercer and drove to Dorchester to get the dog from the kennel. Now a new adventure starts tomorrow when the 4 grandchildren are here this weekend.

Day #4 of the adventure. Saw waterfalls and dramatic rock outcrops at Picture Rock National Park in Munising. In Marquette toured the Harbor Lighthouse, Maritime Museum and lunch at another micro brewery. And drove to Ironwood to spend the night.

Day #3 of the adventure. Toured Sleeping Bear Dunes NPS. We did not climb the dunes; I know how gravity works! Zoom in to see all the people using all four to climb back up. Next to Gaylord for dinner and see the Elk Park. Then across the Mackinac Bridge to Manistique.

Day 2 of the adventure. A wonderful breakfast at St. Brendan’s, toured the Manitowoc Maritime Museum, and sailed to Ludington, Michigan on the SS Badger.

To celebrate Mikie’s birthday and our 47th anniversary I am taking her on a 4 day adventure. Today was the National Train Museum, world’ largest grandfathers clock and dinner with good friends. Tune in tomorrow to see what I have planned next.
