This is our 7th trip to Muskegon, Michigan and as we travel people ask us why we summer in this particular area. There are a variety of answers to this question, the first being that my sister lives here and that is how we found the area. We have family in Oklahoma and Texas, as well as many other places around the country, yet we repeatedly choose Muskegon as our summer destination. Other than coming to spend time with family, we come because of the people, the summer temperatures, and because so much of what we enjoy doing is here.
Over the past 7 years we have made several close friends. Their kindness and acceptance has touched our hearts. Upon entering the state several Michigan friends said "welcome back" and a few said "welcome home"! Wow! Oklahoma has always been home to us, but now Michigan has become like a second home. This is a comfortable place for us to spend 4 1/2 months of the year.
Breakfast at Hennessy's |
After breakfast we moved our car a little closer to the Market as we were not sure what prizes we might find and need to carry back to the car. Below are pictures of Muskegon's Farmer's Market. At 9:30 in the morning the market is not very busy but as midday approaches there will be quite a crowd. As we move slowly through the isles so as not to miss anything we see fresh fruits and vegetables for sale. Lots and lots of asparagus is available. Also, we see cheese, jerky, and fresh eggs. We try to find the "pie lady" as she is one of our favorite venders. Also the lady with dog treats is a must find. Schooner tolerates her treats best. The man who has the best granola ever made is here today with a variety of homemade breads. There is cordial (non-alcoholic), cookies, fudge (homemade, of course), and at this time of year we see a huge number of venders have plants for spring gardening.

The trip to the Meijer garden center was productive. Found these attractive planters and placed them near our front door.
Time will tell if the Mosquito Plants help repel mosquitoes.
