~A Place~

A happy place, that you can go back to when things are bad,that's what
this place surely is. One of them.This is Agate Falls.Lovely spot, up
in the same area as Bond Falls, up in the Great North Woods of home.

The falls are not as long I believe, as Bond but but beautiful

We would make the round trip if we started out early enough

in the morning and drive to Bond Falls first, make that hike down

one side and up the other then travel another hour perhaps, its

been so long, I forget, but we then go here to these.. They are

farther north and a bit east but if im not mistaken the same River,

the Ontonagon River goes from these Agate falls to Bond.

You can see the road as it goes over the falls, its a great view

from up there as well..

To get to the falls you pull off the highway to the parking area

and there is a great walkway under the bridge and down along

the side of the falls.. Its a beatiful walk on a nice hot day as the

path isnt too far from the side and if the wind is blowing right

you can feel the mist hitting you as you walk.. There are ferns

and depending on the time of year that you make this trek there

could be flowers in the forest there.. Remember this is out in

the middle of the Ottawa National Forest.

Most of the places in the UP are Indian Names, and they all fit

perfectly. When you leave Bond Falls before you start the ride

to Agate..there is a small old timey general store at the fork

in the road.. You see the red gasoline truck I think in the back

look at the name the full name is Gitche Goomie ..See those ice

cream cones? Talk about some good ice cream..well you see

the smiles on their faces.. After I took this photo Willie, my 2nd

husband took a HUGE lick out MY ice cream cone hes holding

then handed it to me !!!! The stinker.. This was a great treat on

a hot day..The Ice Cream was home made too.. I had strawberry.

Look at the size of them, I can almost taste those luscious things.

Ive been so down and upset and all waiting to hear and can you

believe I still dont know? I can only assume that this is ended..how

can they come back and say "oops..we forgot to arrest you." I

sure hope they cant.but now that Ive talked to Donnie I am so much

less stressed.. I still am keeping my Drs. appt on thursday as this

anxiety has NOT left.. I still cant keep anything down and I spent

a little while on my toidy again last nite.I HAD to try those tomatoes

that Raelynn brought I just couldnt stand seeing them there. So I cut

one up and put it in a bowl and savored EVERY bite.

Going thru and getting these photos out sure helped take me to these

great spots and times..RJ you were very right.. I Love all my photos

and the places they can take me ..these rides back thru home sure

help..See how good I looked back then? I was GORGEOUS then

and I STILL am lol.. I HAD to say that...:-) I know I will be SO glad

when my system finally settles down.. draggin this weebly whiney

GORGEOUS butt off and on my bed 50 times a night..well FEELS

like that many, by the time its the 4th time lol..is getting VERY old...

I am so ready to calm it ALLLLL down..and just get back to runnin

into walls and racing Dutch into the kitchen every nite. He's almost

himself..hes playing again..LB hes still stickin to me like glue..sat in

the bathroom with me the whole time lol :-) Poor baby LOL..
