Hope you all are doing well, and that those that had a Thanksgiving weekend thoroughly enjoyed it!  Charles we wished we could have shared a Thanksgiving dinner with you!   We had a wonderful weekend.   The house we rented had a couple of issues but overall was a very nice house.   We had a relaxing time, lot’s of good food and some visits to Paw Paw and Kalamazoo Michigan.   The weather has been up and down.  We had some weather above freezing on the weekend and then dove down into the single digits.   And being home during the daylight at the end of the week I see it has taken a toll on the lake, and our lakefront.   These early freezing nights have formed good thick ice on the lake but still enough water to allow it to float and expand.   And for only the 2nd time I have seen in 40 years we have some pretty good ice shoves along our lake front.  The ice has buckled up along most of our shoreline, and where it has not buckled it has pushed the land inward.   We have areas that the land has pushed up and buckled the frontage up a foot.  There are a couple of mounds in the lawn that were not there a couple of weeks ago.   The force of nature is mighty powerful!  Amazing.
