Blog time 1630 sitting in office.

Up at 0630, dress and head to Bigsby to get our morning coffee.  Also got a bagel for me.  

Fixed oatmeal to go with bagel. Read several sections of GRP before heading out at 0845 to Trinity Lutheran.

Small crowd at church this morning. We are still meeting in the Sanctuary while the room we normally meet is undergoing repairs.

After church we head north on the East Beltline.  This morning we are taking a ride through Apple Country.

First stop was Cedar Springs.  Then we drove west on 17 mile road to Kent City which is the north terminus of Apple Country.

Headed south on Fruit Ridge Ave through miles of Apple Orchards.  The apples are almost ready to harvest. Sure hope they can get enough Apple pickers.

Nancy really enjoyed the trip.  Prefect day for a ride.  Bright sun and mild temps.  We even noted that some of the hardwood’s leaves are turning.

At 1230 I headed out on a 10.6 mile bike ride.  Today I took my Bianchi bike with an 8 speed internal hub.  Avoided most hills so the ride was enjoyable.

Shower and lunch.

Nancy and I spent about an hour filling out an application for an apartment at Clark at Keller Lake.  Clark at KL is a new retirement apartment.

This morning at church Nancy talked to Ken and Bev Block old Ottawa Hills neighbors.  They are moving into Clark this week.  Thus the incentive to get the application done.

For dinner tonight we had hot dogs. For dessert oatmeal cookies.

Tonight we watched 60 Minutes followed by Whitstable Pearl.  

The 2200 Courtyard check was positive.
