Close Your Eyes and Tap Your Heels Together Three Times and Say,There's No Place Like Home.


I'm here.  Anybody home?


This is a first for me.  Navigating up the Saginaw River from Saginaw Bay.



A Dow chemical plant?

  
One of the busiest recreational waterways yet!




Saginaw Bay Yacht Club.



Could this be a sugar beet processing plant?


The Forrest Sherman class destroyer USS EDSON (DD-946) which was decommissioned in 1988 is open for tours.  








The western side of historic downtown Bay City sits across from Liberty Harbor Marina where we are staying.  The condos across the way are quite impressive offering a waterfront view on the backside while the front on the condo faces downtown.



Broader look of the downtown area on the western side.




We pulled into Liberty Harbor Marina in Bay City, MI for a week long stay.  This worked out perfectly for us for we were 3 months into our trip and Bill had to fly back to Tampa to visit his properties to fulfill his commitment to the owners.  



What a combo.  My incredible and inspiring mother and my equally amazing daughter.



My mom broke her hip 6 weeks ago and is getting along fabulously with the minor help of a cane.


                                   

My mom is ultra talented.  This woman can do anything she sets her mind to do.  She made these churches.


                                 

And these.


                                 

And these.  She is fast.  She guided me in creating a template and then building a church from scratch.  What fun!  

                                

Here's mom and dad.  How lucky I am to still have them with me.  They are my inspiration.  Every positive asset I possess derives from my upbringing.




I purchased these in Deltaville, VA for the person who personifies the verbiage.  My brother-in-law, Jim.



Heading out of Saginaw Bay towards Lake Huron we were surrounded by these hexagon figures.  Maybe the waterway was trying to tell us who is polluting the waters by drawing out the molecular structure of the offending chemicals.  


One week and 6 lbs. heavier (moi) we were on the run again.  Good-bye everyone!  
See you at Christmas!
