We arrived in Kalamazoo, and we're camping at the Markin Glen County Park.  It was recommended to us by this couple in Delton, MI, which isn't that far away.  We met Jim and Teri Enrietti, our dancing and music friends that we met in Willard, WI last year at their polkafest.  We had intended to go to the Italian fest when we came to Kalamazoo, but the committee decided to scratch it for this year, due to late planning on several things, and it would have been a rush, and then those things don't turn out successfully.  We told Jim and Teri that could could come to Kalamazoo, anyway, and meet up with them.  We are so glad we did.  They visited us at our park, then took us out to their place for the afternoon.  We found out that we have a lot in common.  Teri is a quilter, for one thing!  They live on a lake in Delton, so we sat on their deck most of the afternoon. They played some music for us, and then we went to a wonderful Italian restaurant for dinner.  We all laughed a lot and just enjoyed the day.  We are so glad we made this a stop on our trip back to Wisconsin.  They spend most of their summers in the UP of MI, so I know we'll see them more next summer.
Tomorrow we move to Bancroft, MI to see our good friends, Pat and Garry Scribner and their 3 children.  These are all bonuses for us to stop and see our friends, and family along the way.  We plan to be home by the 1st of Oct. 

                                         A leisurely afternoon on the Enrietti deck.

        Teri and her wonderful applique wall hanging.  She did all the hand quilting, as well.  Beautiful.

Jim and Teri playing for us.  Jim plays both the button box and the accordion, and I might say, quite well. Teri's addition of the contra bass really adds to their sound together.  She can even dance while she plays!
