9/24 - Sunset Lake Michigan

Stopped in Charlevoix and had to go down ot Fisherman's Island Beach. Sun just peaked out for a few seconds, but the sky and clouds were great.

9/25 - Charlevoix Round Lake Harbor

Had breakfast at 'Smoke on the Waters' and then did a quick walk around downtown and some shopping. Quite a few boats on the ahrbor yet, and no color--probalby be another 10 days for peak color.

9/25 - Aunt Tillie

Greeted us at tthe Red Pine Point Paisley Mansion on Mullett Lake.

9/25 - A Resident Dog - Luke

Greeted me one time and I asked him "Do you know how to sit?" And, this was a pose he immediately did. This was before I even knew his name. He was a big, beautiful Golden Retriever. There were three other resident dogs also--all had the the run of the entire house.

9/25 - A Resident Dog - Bouge

Great older dog who was lame in one hip, but it didin't stop him from playing ball. He'd drop his ball at your feet if you were standing still--almost anywhere and if you kicked it away, he run and bring it back and roll it towards you again--repeat ad nauseum.
