What is your favorite summertime activity?

When I lived there ..ahhh the lakes and Fishing, Scuba and Swimming...Bike rides and picinics in the Metro parks and the Isle...now that I am living away: VIsiting Michigan ....I hope to make it there to my Grandparents farm...in Traverse City .

Hiking and Biking [[hoping to trade to a Hybred bike from a road bike) and Canoeing the Buffalo River in Arkansas...saw my first huge Cottom Mouth of the season while riding my bike and would trade it for Michigans birds any day...

have a safe summer..and yes politics are worth deabting over a beer and a brat with good friends...to all

When I lived there, summer was a special time of many happy memories.

Romancing your favorite up and coming lady on a Saturday. Happily "spendin" on her all day, just to see her smile. Serenading her with charms hoping for a blush. Anticipating her opening up in the groove you two are sharing. Watching her over an early dinner as she tells you about her.

Then a late afternoon drive around Belle Isle with her sitting next to you. Drinking in the breeze. Music sounding great and fitting the mood. Walking arm in arm to the pier. Talk.

Drop her off at her place at 8pm with instructions to be ready when you return at 11pm. Go see friends or family for a couple of hours. Laugh and relax. Snack on some ribs at your Mom and Dads house. Make sure the wax on your car is looking right. Kiss your mother and hug your father. Next, go home to get fresh and clean. Then at 11pm, your lady looks great when she greets you at her door. Hang at her place for a little while, then go out.

Many a Detroiter has enjoyed some variation on this theme.

Here is a new [[ish) one for me...taking your dogs [[if they like to swim) to a lake is great, but messy, fun.
