live w mcs - multiple chemical sensitivity's photostream  

This is another old memory. A place I use to love to go to. We would take the kids, everyone with their own backpacks. We would carry in what we needed. The first year my son had Poo Bear in his back pack...he he he. My oldest step-daughter isn't here on this trip. From left to right Tyler my son, me, my step-daughter Amanda and then Del. I'm guessing this must have been around 1978 or 79? this was like being on our own island. We normally never saw anyone else. The fog was so heavy it was raining on the tent in the woods. We decided to climb down the bluff to the beach and it was dry as a bone....wierd! I loved it there and I know it will always be a fond memory for all of us :)

I never did have any photos of me riding my bike. I use to love it. Rode it every second I had a chance. Back and forth to work and out in the country. This is an old photo I took a photo of :P
Once I rode downtown and decided to wear my helmet...good thing I did! A car in front of me drove over a can and it came right up in my face between my eyes. If I handn't had on my helmet with the face shield it would have knocked me off my bike I'm sure of it! Yea, a bandana and goggles was much more cool looking...lololol...but no where near as safe!
I no longer have this bike and miss it from time to time. There is no way I could ride one these days, maybe someday again!
This one was a 1980 Susuki 450L, teardrop tank and low to the ground, it was a good fit for me. I dumped it once and found out I could pick it back up (that was a good thing). I rebuilt the carberator twice, drilled some holes in the baffels to make it sound like it had a little more omphhh. Added spindle highway pegs and a sissy bar with a bag. It was a lot of fun! I even remember going to the motorcycle graveyard to pull off parts I needed a couple times.

This one is for the kids!
We've lived here since 1987 and when we would go to Holland State Park Beach when the kids were little they would see this at the airport. The kids have all grown and moved away. I thought they'd get a kick out of seeing it.
Nowdays, I love sitting in the car and watching the dogs play at the dog park across the street from here....what a hoot they can be when they are all playing with each other and running around like a pack of wolves :P
Anyway this plane has always been a type of landmark on the way to the beach for the kids...enjoy!

Every other winter I've gone out to the beach and walked up to the water the ground has been covered in snow...then realizing the ground is moving up and down then realizing your standing on ice...yikes!
Not this year, or should I say not yet anyway. This winter has been like no other I can remember.

As I got low for this shot the water and sand was blasting me . Crazy high winds! The camera seems OK but there are a few spots on the lens.

I have never been to Lake Michigan without a hugh amount of ice and snow there? The winds were high and the sand was piercing, very few dared to go outside in this along the beach, at least not for very long. It was pretty cold!
