August is a wonderful month at MontaguePiedATerre. About the middle of the month, the meteorites begin to shower, maybe beginning on or about the 11th. Then about the same time, the "night noises" will start up. A chorus of thousands of cicadas and tree toads can lull you to a restful state, either early in the morning or later in the evening. And then there are the visits from loved ones. We had a wonderful time with Jack and Deb. We had wonderful meals, beautiful beach walks and swims, invigorating mule rides, stimulating conversations and magnificent wines to go along with the meals. We even had a mini trip to Pentwater for fresh smelt and a wonderful walk on the beach to the north.
We left the township park and headed for Pentwater. Pentwater was readying itself for the "Homecoming" that would launch itself with a 4 o'clock parade. We arrived at about 2 and witnessed the preparations. The Pentwater Chief of Police even cross examined Jack and Paul looking for reasons to arrest them. But after intimidating him with potentially damaging information, he left the scene in his 4x4 and we did not see him again, except for his cross examination of a buxom blonde. There were many other interesting visitors ... one a doctor from Arabia escorted by a high heeled, interestingly clad person from who knows where. Then there were lots of other unusual as well as unexpected visitors ... all preparing themselves for the festivities.

That day we picked up a hummingbird feeder for Jack and Deb, a delicious cherry pie for dinner, and other various and sundry things to grace the yard of The Versluys'. A good time was had by all, times were shared, stories were told, music was heard, meals were prepared, wines were uncorked, fun was enjoyed and most of all ... hurried lives were calmed. Thanks Deb and Jack for taking time to visit.
