Your faithful correspondent apologizes for the recent lack of productivity.
My laptop got hacked – beware of a link purporting to be an Adobe Flash update. After resetting lots of passwords and getting a replacement credit card, all seems well again.
So the next order of business is to go back to a leg of our trip in Michigan week-before-last (time flies!), after we crossed the Mighty Mac Bridge onto the Lower Peninsula (which I learned is a legit name and not just a Yooper zinger at the bigger-city folks down south).
After a couple of restful days near Traverse City, Ginny and I teed it up Wednesday-before-last for the first time in waaaay too long. In doing so, we proved the value of quality over quantity. Arcadia Bluffs is one of the best, most scenic and most enjoyable courses we’ve ever played. It’s links golf overlooking Lake Michigan (which was hazy in this pic, due to smoke from the forest fires as far away as Yellowstone/Glacier).
We then drove some seriously back roads from Arcadia to Fremont, MI (home of Gerber baby foods!) to visit Ginny’s Aunt Maggie and her husband Harry. 
Maggie is Ginny’s mom’s youngest sister, and it’s easy to see the genes for both beauty and magnetism in the McAndrews bloodline!
Maggie and Harry live on Peck Lake, where we had a nice booze cruise.
The treat of the evening was listening to Maggie’s stories about her big sister…and watching Ginny’s smile at all the memories of her mom. The only disappointment of the visit was that we didn’t have more time to spend together.
It was one of the most heart-warming evenings of our trip.
