About lunch time, we arrived at the lake shore home of Charles and Arlene Loppens, a pine cabin on the beach. It was their last week end there as Charles is a school principal and must return to his school near Detroit.
We all enjoyed the cool water and hot sun and then the “rock hound’’ within us could resist no longer, so we had to search for more rocks. There is such a variety of the fossilized coral and sea life from the tropical age strung along the beaches. Arlene is making a rock garden in front of her cabin so the largest specimens were left with her and we crowded all we could into a cigar box and tied its bulging cover down with a string. Lelia found some interesting driftwood “for flower arrangements.” she says. The water, the sun, the fresh air made us all ravenous, and Arlene’s roast beef dinner was ex-, . cellent, so we all fejt.il wfs a most satisfying day. Coffee was served from an ornate old percolator thit came from a rummage sale for 50c. We made it full twice and drank it all, and congratulated Arlene on her good coffee and the big bargain she had found years ago.
Peggy and Georg#"nave a grove of ancient pine trees and the branches are so thick thaj( they shut
out much of the daylight^so that it is almost twilight ail„jUy long. The sun beams sift jJhpough like gold dust and the needles lie thick, soft and deep as a carpet. Deer tracks were seen everywhere. Here and there we saw a little hump and when we dug into it, found a white tender mushroom. We gathered about a quart of tfiem and took them to the Grenmarks. They did not want to eat them for fear they were “toadstools” so we had the whole dish full.
