This past week was pretty gloomy and rainy but that didn't stop the kids and I from taking our morning drives out to the lake.
These are just a few pictures we took of the dense fog coming over Lake Michigan.
The marina almost looks haunted but in a romantic kind of way.
I am the only the that sees that?
:)
This little one now comes with us, she does not do very well all alone yet.
I am pretty sure she is enjoying herself.
I also wanted to say Happy Fathers Day!
This is my dad, still skiing at the age of 69!
(my mom still skies too but she would hurt me if I showed you, maybe one day she will let me.
Love you mom!!)
Thank you daddy for all you have done for me.
You encourage me
believe in me
walk beside me
catch me when I fall
pick me back up
dust me off
guide me
love me no matter what
You are my hero
my rock
and I will forever be 12 in your eyes and you know what, I am really ok with that now.
I love you more!
Linking up to Sand and Sea Sunday at the Gypsea Nurse!

I love the pictures you took! The foggy marina is wonderful. You little guy looks so cute hanging out the window.
Your dad is great on skis. Way to go dad! My dad played tennis into his 80's. I did not inherit that from him though.
Oh I love your images...

Your dad is a cutie - and I really enjoy these pics! :-)
It´s raining here today so I´m glad I was weeding and such yesterday - makes it OK to just stay inside today..! :-)

I did not think it would happen, but it did. I wept when I saw how you thanked your DADDY. I called my dad that 'til the moment he died, 25 years ago, two weeks from today. TODAY is when my mom passed. May you treasure every second with this gracious and most athletic man. I cannot believe how BLUE Lake Michigan is dearest! You are living in paradise! BISES MA BELLE!

So romantic the misty marina! And the picture of you and your dad is amazing! You're so pretty Michelle! Happy fathers day!
Beautiful post Michelle! And I agree about the marina picture...it has that melancholy look about it which is always somewhat romantic too. :-) Have a great day my friend!

Love your cute little doggie chillin' with her head out the window.

We went to the beach this week, and it was so cold and overcast that I didn't take a single photo. I love that photo of you and your dad :)

Hi Dear Michelle
What a lovely tribute to your 'Daddy'!! and beautiful shots of your lake and surrounding areas.. I love that shot of the marina.. and yes do get what you see.. it looks like a fishing port from some bygone era....
Once again I can't get over how much you look like my other friend Michelle..! hehe..
Have a lovely week.. ciao xxx Julie
The picture of you and your Dad is so sweet. Great shot. I love your foggy pics and that water in the skiing picture is so pretty! Can't believe he is still out there at his age! What a cutie the little Doxie is...hope she liked the lake.
Hey sweetie! What beautiful photos of the lake! That fog really does make it look mysterious and spooky - but just awesome. :) That pic of Baja just melted my heart. You can see the lonesomeness in her eyes, yet - poor little thing. And your dad just rocks! Holy moly! :) That photo of you two is just adorable.... ♥

Hi Michelle~
Those are gorgeous pictures of the lake! And that was so sweet what you wrote about/to your dad! What a sweet picture of the two of you, too. :)
I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and a great Father's Day!
Blessings,

I think he must be a great daddy to have bought up such a beautiful girl. The way you have described him is so sweet.
Have a great week.
Best Carolyn
LOVE the photos of you and your Dad Michelle, he is quite handsome!!
Wow, your dad is quite amazing isn't he? Hope his day was fabulous and that you all had a wonderful day too.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Good morning sweet one,
GLEN LAKE? Wow, it is one of the bluest American lakes I have ever seen! We have marvelous lakes here, strewn all over the Metro area, let alone the entire state of Minnesota, but none so blue. Enjoy your trip up North with everyone! I trust your Sunday was splendid! MUCH LOVE TO YOU MICHELLE, Anita
It does look very romantic in a ghostly sort of way in these beautiful photos that you took. Wonderful photo of you and your dad. Have a great week.
so pretty! I love beach grass :)
Michelle
Beautifully said, a perfect Fathers day!!
I so get you about the marina, and being or looking haunted!! I use this term all the time, That I want all the pieces in my life old, weathered, chippy, rusty, and hauntingly beautiful!! I sooo get you my dear :)
Thank you for the beautiful photos.
xoxo

Omigosh Michelle - your dad is still a water skier? Good for him that's amazing! My Dad on the other hand is 73, and can't even walk a block without huffing and puffing. Your photos of Lake Michigan are gorgeous!

Awww! Such a sweet post! I love that your dad still skis at his age! So inspiring! Your photos are just gorgeous too! Hope you're having a great week!

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks gloomy misty days are beautiful too :)
These photos are brilliant! :D
What great photos, Michelle! I love the one of you and your dad together...the one of the dog is pretty darn cute too :)
Your dad sounds like an amazing person. I hope to be skiing at his age.
Oddly, misty gray harbors brighten my mood rather than turn me melancholy. I appreciate gray more as I become older.
Lovely post. Great to see your dad skiing. He's only 4 years older than my hubbie, who is also a water skier.

You're the sweetest ever, Michelle...and I find soooo romantic that picture of your dad and you!!
