Lions for lunch, dinner at the lake

With the bed heater controls finally sorted out the night and sleep went much better. Got up in time to see the highlights of last night's Michigan State victory over Notre Dame. Can't get enough of watching that final play.

So after our morning walk we got cleaned up and planted ourselves in front of the television to watch today's Detroit Lions contest. Another frustrating day for the Lions. I know people will say they are getting better, that they are not losing as badly, but losing is losing and this team has inflicted plenty of that on this area.

Unlike others, I don't see the silver lining, I see the same mistakes, the same frustrating inability to finish and I guess I should just stop watching until they actually show some improvement. Sorry, just don't see it.

Joan said she was tired of cooking, so we found the Emerson Lake Inn in a brochure that she found at the camp office so we decided to drive there for dinner. It is in Walhalla, Michigan which is a bend in U.S. 10 about two blocks long. The restaurant is actually a mile or so east of town and was pretty deserted when we got there about 5 p.m.

Joan had the White Fish and I had the chicken special. There was enough left over that we have another meal. We had a view of Emerson Lake from our table and the waitress said even in the summer the private lake never has more than a couple boats on it.

After dinner we made a stop at the Meier store to stock up on food and pop and then came back to the trailer for, you guessed it, Sunday Night Football. As much as I love football, I started to get a little burned out on it today.

Tomorrow, with all the campers gone and the town quiet, we'll get out and do a little exploring and picture taking.

Except for the picture of the television screen and the Lions' game, the rest of the photos are from the restaurant tonight. The view of the lake was taken from our table and the waitress was nice enough to take a picture of Joan and I after dinner.
