July 21 - Jackson, MI

We met this lovely family while we were hosting at Sleeping Bear Dunes in Glen Arbor, MI, in 2007 and have stayed in touch on and off since then.  Since we were going to be within 35 miles of Jackson we contacted them to see if we could get together for dinner.  Beth couldn't make it but we saw her after dinner when we went to their house to play cards.  The kids have grown up so much in the last few years, but they are still great kids and we had the nicest visit with this exceptionally warm and wonderful family.  Dinner was excellent, too.  We ate at a little hole in the wall place called the Oaktree Cafe in downtown Jackson.
