The Lake House at Cold Water, Michigan

We drove across Indiana on the I80 toll road to the tune of $21.70! We arrived at James and Jennifer's lake house where Patsy was staying at about 2:00pm. We parked across the street from their small cottage in a lot they bought which had a garage on it. They were not allowed to build anything else on the site and it had plenty of room for us to back the motorhome in in front of the garage. They brought out a 120v, 20 amp power cord for us to get a little power into the RV.

We had a lot of company with almost all of Patsy's family there at the cottage as well as some of James and Jennifer's friends. Peg went swimming in the lake with Patsy, James, Jim, Danielle and friends kids Jack and Diana with their dad Brian. Mom Samantha, Jennifer and I stayed on the shore and watched. We had a nice taco dinner and cooked up some s'mores around the camp fire that evening. The sunset was beautiful over the still lake water.

Didn't get back to the motorhome until 11:30pm and it was still a bit warm. We ran the vent fans and keep the covers off for the night.

The following morning we had a big breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes and said our goodbyes to Patsy and the family, hooked up the car and headed off to Empire, Michigan which was about a 5 hour drive. It was great seeing Patsy again and she always makes us feel like we are part of her family. It was sad that her husband, Gary, who passed away last year, was not there to be with us all.
