Day 21 The Traveling Tinkers

 Today is the day that our other co-pilots Sean, Steffie and Cora) are to join us. They were picked up and driven to the airport at 6am. Thank you Christine for taking them and making sure all was in order.  They were excited and anxious, the dog was medicated to relax her, they had all their boarding passes and Cora's paperwork. Ready to go!!  Jet Blue was always our go to Airline for many reasons. This time was full of disappointment.  There were multiple delays.  Then once on the plane, and beginning to move on the tarmack, they captain advised that they were returning to the gate as there was a complaint and in order to keep his license he had to be drug tested. So, the plane returned to the gate. The pilot and co pilot had to get off for testing.  A few hours later, they were back, and the flight was taking off.  So after the multiple hour delay they were told, we are sorry but the wifi and the tv's are not working.  Later that afternoon the company sent an apology letter giving a $100 credit for a future flight due to all of the delays etc.    They did arrive, Cora did great on the plane, they were hungry and tired, but they arrived.  We heard all about the adventure, and they even managed to swim in the pool before bed. 



Cora is not too sure about her other cousin dogs Quincy and Jasmine, and I don't think they are to keen about her either, but they are adjusting.  The entire day was spent waiting to find out if the plane was going to take off or not, it was frustrating for all of us.  When they arrived, Deb and Lam made a fantastic rib dinner, yum!

The Traveling Tinkers - Lake Michigan as seen from Lake View Inn and Reseaurant

 Ok I did it!  I ate a Pastie. The food of Michigan.  It was great, not quite on my food plan, but....how can you visit Michigan and not try the food?  We stopped at this lovely small restaurant overlooking the great Lake Michigan.  Great service, great ambiance, and the view was spectacular on this particular sunny day.  The photo of the building with the rocks on the side is just an indication of how they use their large rock surplus in every building they construct.  The Lake View Inn is on the Sister Lakes.

The Traveling Tinkers - Blue Ribbon Diner - Wauseon, Ohio

Image
 After our trip through the Shipshe, Ohio Amish community, we stayed at a Best Western. The next day, due to covid, the complimentary breakfast they offered was not to our liking, so we again were in search of a diner.  We came across this location, there were a few cars outside, and saw this sign.  Ok, so not a real good sign right?  But it seemed so patriotic, and I did see a few motorcycles outside, so figured, it must be good. Once inside, we were amazed at how clean and nice it was, the variety of food on the menu, the friendly waitress, and the food was wonderful!    I would definitely put this on my radar if I were traveling that way again. Wonderful food, great waitress!  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blue-Ribbon-Diner/221121854963717

The Traveling Tinkers - Rosy's Diner - Escanaba, Michigan

Image
 One of the things we enjoy most on our travels is a great breakfast!  We are especially fond of old diners.  After an evening with our Harvest Host Ramblin Rose in Carney, we headed out for breakfast.  As with the town of Carney, there was not much to select from. Eventually we spotted a corner diner in Escanaba.  Rosy's diner.  What happened after that was so delightful. As we parked the car, we could actually smell the cooking bacon, and knew we were in for a treat.  We found out seat at the counter as the cook was busily whippng up a few meals at once. The special of the day was home made corned beef hash and eggs. How could I pass this up?  We settled in and listened to the joyful banter between the cook/owner, her daughter, and her prep cook.  They made us feel welcome and special.  We chatted about the 4 egg omlette and all the other specialties they proudly serve.  We were informed that Rosy's diner was chose as the #2 winne...
