Happy 40th Anniversary Bob and Gail

We just returned from our annual Voss family vacation in Northwest Michigan. We rented a house in Schuss Mountain, a ski and golf resort about 45 minutes northeast of Traverse City. North Michigan is famous for it's cherry farms, which keep to nations pie making industry stocked with shriveled sacks of tart goodness. The area is also known for it's sweet cherry wines, which we sampled freely. We shared the house with Corey and Irene and their 3 kids, Brenna and Brian with their 2 kids and Bob and Gail, the 2 who started it all. So all six grandkids were there romping arounf the living room floor, riding their bikes and tricycles up and down the driveway, and collecting pine cones in the forest. We took the kids biking around the neighborhood where we saw deer, a few wild turkeys, a snake and some crows. We also took some day trips to the various lakes in the area. Torch Lake was the largest one we visitited. It has the look a carribean ocean with it's shades of light and dark blues although the temperature was a chilly 60 degrees. The lake is 19 miles long making it Michigan's largest lake. The highlight of the vacation was celebrating Bob and Gails 40th wedding anniversary. We sent them off to dinner at a neighboring golf resort and had a sheetcake and champaign for them when they returned. We toasted to their wonderful marriage and the influences they've had on our lives.
