Maybury State Park

Spring has sprung. It was a balmy 45 degrees when we started out this morning for four hours. We hiked at Maybury State Park.

Tomorrow is the Euchre Tournament. I think we will have a pretty full house.

Holly was nice

Although the cold has come back into Michigan, the hike this past Saturday was rather pleasant. I am unsure of the total distance (est. between 9 and 11 miles) but we did hike for 3.5 hours. The shamrock cookies Christine supplied were perfect.

On Sunday I participated in a bucket drive, which was really successful in the time we were there. Next Sunday is the Euchre tournament. Should be a good time.

Fundraising update

Well, the donations continue to come in. I participated in a very successful event today with Dick and Charlotte again. After today's event and the recent donations I am almost to the $2,000 mark. Thank you all for your kind donations and support.

Island Lake trails icy and we needed to take the road more traveled

Trails were icy. Hiked the paved trail from the trailhead to Kensington Metro Park and back making it between 9 and 10 miles. It was the warmest day yet for us and we all completed it in our alloted 3 hours.

Bald Mountain 3/3/07

This week we hiked at Bald Mountain Recreation Area in Lake Orion. We did the same trail last year, but it was in April and much nicer of a day out. Although it was close to 30 degrees, the wind kept it a bit cooler. The trail wasn't too bad with snow, maybe ankle deep. Compared to the Stony Creek hike which was deeper.

Fundraising event at Detroit Ignition

Last week - Charlotte, Dick and myself worked the crowd at the Detroit Ignition indoor soccer game for a 50/50 raffle on Sunday. We collected $532 in two periods! Why to go! This fundraiser helped me go over the $1,000 mark.

The night before I worked the bar at the Monsignor Clement Kern Knights of Columbus Vegas Night. I made over $40 in tips, just serving up beer.
