It wasn't a picture perfect weather day. It was a little cloudy but it was a picture perfect day for Marianne my wife and I. We are waiting for results from a bone scan she had done the other day. So I set up what she needed the most. She needed a little comfort from Ryan our son.
The fall colors were beautiful. We got off the main highway and took some back roads for an hour.
I called him (he lives in Chicago) but he was busy. I was going to drop in with Marianne but he had a Halloween party planned with friends. But he was great and said he would meet us on the west coast of Michigan to go to an apple orchard on Sunday. So Marianne and I drove about 2 1/2 hours and he and Katie drove a couple of hours to meet over on the west side of the state.
So we hung out at Jollay Orchards in Coloma. We took a hay ride, had a carmel apple, drank some cider, and swatted away all the bees that were after the sweet stuff.
We fed the animals and then we had a meal at the Friendly Tavern in downtown Coloma. If you are in the area I would recommend both places. We had some great service and good food at Friendly Tavern. 206 N Paw Paw St, Coloma, MI 49038-9589

It was a great day. Ryan lifted Marianne's spirits. I hope you all had a good weekend too.

I am walking in the Tampa 3 day cancer walk in October. Support cancer research by going to www.the3day.org/goto/marianneravary and donate as much as you can. My wife got to live 20 years after finding out she had breast cancer due to advances in cancer treatment. Be part of the team and help me. I would like to be able to give some other "special lady" (like my wife Marianne) more days on this earth. If we can give another lady another night to enjoy with friends, an extra week to laugh & hug her kids, an extra month to love her spouse, or an extra year then our money will be going to a good cause. The grants from the Susan G Komen 3 day walk have been instrumental in cancer research. Help me give more time to somebody else please donate to the 3day walk. Thanks

Thanks for sharing! Those colors do not look real! That is one thing I do miss about being in southwest Florida is the fall colors. We have pretty trees in Naples, but nothing like those pretty Maples. Nice. :-)
Russ - What a beautiful family you have! My prayers are with you and your wife for good news and positive results of the bone scan. Sounds like you had the perfect remedy for her blues. :)
