Last week we got a call from Dick and Elaine Leu, from Iowa. They were on their way thru Michigan to visit some of Dick's old stomping grounds and to explore the northern part of the State including Mackinaw Island and the Upper Peninsula. We first met Dick and Elaine this past season when they came to Rockport 35 RV Park for their first stay. We always invite friends to stop and visit if they have the time whenever they may be passing thru our area, and we are thrilled when anyone takes us up on the offer.

New Friends / New Friendships
Their timing was great. Every 3 years the tall ships come to Bay City and Rick, Elaine and Dick got to see them come into the mouth of the river from the bay, in full sail. I, however, was up river from them at a previously scheduled luncheon date with friends. Missed it. The ships present quite the picture when under full sail, so I'm told--maybe next time.
The guys got a fishing trip in too, even though the waters on the Bay were a little choppy that day. OK, maybe a tad bit more than choppy since one rolling wave knocked Dick out of his seat. In spite of that they did catch 3 keeper walleye. Guess what was cooked on the grill for dinner that night? Mmm, mmm good.
It was a quick 2 days, but time enough to get to know each other better and to have a great time. We have found that there are a lot of nice people who come to the park from Iowa. Dick and Elaine have been added to our growing list of Iowa friends and we look forward to seeing them again this winter.
