Laundry Followed Us! (June 21)

We got up this morning with plans to do some wash and then just hang out at the campsite, enjoying the day. We've been gone for the better part of every day since Sunday and were looking forward to just having some time to relax, read a bit, and enjoy the campground (have I said how pretty it is up here?). The weather was beautiful so we made breakfast on the picnic table and then got stuff together to hit a laundromat in Clare. We rode around there a little over the past couple of days and Steve had seen a place to get the truck's oil changed, so we decided he would drop me off at the laundromat and then head to the oil change place. On the ride to Clare, it clouded over a bit and after Steve had dropped me off and I had gotten the wash started in the machines, it started to POUR outside. There was only one other lady in the place with me and she left soon after things got rolling for me, so I had the place to myself....with the laundry....in the rain...luckily with my iPad! Four machines, one dryer and $10.50 later, Steve came back, we got the laundry folded and headed out. Of course we couldn't leave Clare without finding the "Doughnuts and Cops Bakery". We had seen a billboard for the place on the interstate coming in and both got a good laugh out of it, but a camping neighbor had told us we just "had" to visit it before leaving the area. So, we did. Four HUGE doughnuts later (we took them back to the camper for later) we headed back to the camper. We did some hanging out, playing on the computer while it rained for a bit, and then went into Harrison for some lunch. We had looked for some pizza last night, but they "roll up the sidewalks" in town pretty early so we weren't able to find anything open. So, pizza was on our mind for lunch. Mama Cilli's makes delicious pizza in case you're interested. After lunch we called Alex in reference to a text he'd sent us and found out Steve has a doctor appointment on June 25th. As in FOUR DAYS FROM NOW. Gads! We had no idea it had been scheduled, but we're headed back to SC first thing in the morning. We had planned to visit Muskegan, Grand Haven, and Holland tomorrow, and then make our way to the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday, before heading for home sometime Sunday or Monday, but plans change. We're happy to have seen all we have here, and we'll be back sometime in the future, so maybe we'll see those last couple of places another time. We had a great fire tonight. It seems to stay light so much later here than in SC. Still pretty light out and it's 9:35. Weird. Night all.
