Mexican (street) style is our favorite way to eat tacos. Onion, cilantro and lime. With some green pepper sauce and jalapeños.

Yum.

Received some salmon from an awesome friend in Manistee that he caught yesterday. Can’t wait to cook it up.

I’m gonna get him or someone to take me out and teach me how to catch them. It’s been a long time since I’ve even fished. And the fishing up here is the best I’ve ever seen.

One of the many things we love about northwest Michigan is visiting the local farmstands of products grown by them locally. Not only are you getting great tasting and fresh produce/fruit, but you are helping out a local to thrive and provide for their family.

Pic 1: Just part of what we purchased from of Chief Rd in the Bear Lake area. Spring mix lettuce 🥬, green onions 🧅, red potatoes 🥔, cherry and beefsteak tomatoes 🍅. Also on the picture is their non-GMO sweet corn 🌽. The corn is OMG so good. Cooked without shucking in the microwave at 4 minutes per ear. Cut ends off and slides right out without the silk. Try it!

Also in pic 1: Bag of pea 🫛 shoots are from just down the road from on Chief Rd.

Pic 2: Early peaches 🍑 from . So yummy. Love all their products. Like maple syrup 🍁products? Check inside their market and get yours. It’s the best I’ve ever had. Now, if Apple season would just hurry up. 🍎🍏

Pic 3: You can’t pass summer up without getting some sweet red cherries 🍒 and blueberries 🫐. We like to get those from Miller’s Produce just north of Onekema on M-22.

Can’thave anything nice around with a border collie puppy.

About a month ago or so, I left my AirPods out to where Bingo could get them and he did. Last night, he got ahold of ‘s AirPods. He could at least took her right one so we could have a working pair? 🤣

Good thing for keeping the older AirPods. At least for me. will have to try and find hers.

What an awesome night! Went to see the original classic movie, Psycho in a historical theater for $2 each. Then got our bucket filled with popcorn for $2 (good for the year) and our tumblers filled for a $1 each (good for lifetime).

Where else can 2 go on a date for $8 that includes movie, popcorn and soda?

We loaded up today at . Stoked that we were able to get some of the little bit of Evercrisp apples that are left over. And the maple syrup. Omg. We thought we liked the regular syrup. But, the infused is so good as well.
