Our cousin the dulcimer lady, Alice Aileen Parry just sent a note that her brother Floyd McWethy of
Midland died yesterday. He had been sick for some time, so not a surprise. She is still spunky as
ever! Her aunt was Grandma Nina Marie Lason Parks, Grandpa Nort's wife.

Zane came to one meeting with me and said it was the most boring thing ever. He liked the break
room, lunch, and the horse barn but the rest didn't thrill him.

Great shots of Zane! Was that the basketball hoop where you guys cut out of Lew's graduation to
play? Tossed his tassel and took off!

Big Mac is 60 years old this year! My neighbor Sandy asked if I remembered this photo of the bridge
construction. Completed Nov 1, 1957, we crossed it Summer of 1958 to visit Grandma at Chatham. She
died Nov 1959, this may have been our last visit... The bridge shot was one taken for my 4-H
Photography project...just a kid!

Dropped books off at the library & saw these pretty annuals! Then couldn't resist the
tulips at Fresh Market, and the walnuts... First match is Saturday, 65 doubles! Then we
leave...Drone shots were taken by our neighbor, better watch that skinny dippin... in the river too,
see Mick's post to Sandy...beautiful!

Need a longer lens to get that major penalty shot Mick! Mowed the lawn last time, got haircuts, all
packed, just have Senior Games tennis and we'll be heading up Sunday!

Soccer and lacrosse from the weekend. Zane is very happy to be entrusted with the 6 foot long
"D-pole" in lacrosse. The kid he slashed on the helmet not so much! "2 minutes, no
releasable!". Like a major penalty in hockey. Our picture lady should be sending me a shot of
that one soon.

One week to go, still no rain. Florida is on fire and under a State of Emergency...maybe you could
send some rain down here... Look-NO ICE on the lake!

Old news, this pix from Oct 2014, about the size of the bear on the North Country Trail/morel patch
up north! Wouldn't want to hit him with anything, especially Darry's new truck or
Sandy's 4 wheeler!

Maple Leafs are on tonight! Aunt Mary has arrived in the UP, well her ashes are here. The graveside
service will be in the first week of May. Flowers were ordered and will still be pretty if you visit
over the summer...nice florist next to the cemetery helped me decide on a silk arrangement that
wouldn't topple over in the wind...it was snowing as we spoke!
