Cadillac

We met some good friends of ours Lisa, Brian and their son Andrew at McGuire’s Resort up in Cadillac Michigan last weekend. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing time. We had not seen our friends for a few months and many things had happened between visits.

Brian is in the Air National Guard and has been away from his family becoming a better trained soldier. His last training was about a month ago to jump school where he received a concussion during training. They have also just moved from the Jackson area to the Grand Rapids area due to job issues. With changing jobs, moving, changing schools, military training, and injuries, they have had quite the time. The stress must be terrific but they handled everything gracefully.

We played nine holes of golf on Saturday and had a great time. I took my own advice, at least most of the time, and kept my head down. I played well for never having seen the course before but it was more the relaxed atmosphere and good company that made the day.

Sometimes it is good just to get away and see things from someone else’s view. You think your life is hectic and things don’t seem to go the way you want. But there is always someone else who is dealing with bigger issues and making it look effortless.

I guess the name of the town is really how the weekend was and how things are going in general. It was a great big relaxing time. Who could ask for anything more?
