What a small world we live in...

...is what I am thinking right now. I am back on the road headed north for Interlochen State Park but I had to stop and get an update posted. Last night I was sitting on an overlook at the campground watching the sun set over Lake Michigan. I had been there for a little while when a man and woman came out a sat down to do the same thing I was doing. We said hi and started talking about the campground and the weather and such. They mentioned they had been there the week before with family and I said I had a friend who had been there the week before and long story short I was talking to my best friend Stacy's Aunt Linda and Uncle Bob. In a campground that had 235 sites which were all full, an entire beach either of us could have been on, plus four seperate overlooks to wind up meeting was just really amazing. We watched the sun set then they invited me back to their trailer for ice cream, which I of course accepted, and we visited for a while. It was a really nice time and all three of us repeated several times how neat it was to meet like that. What is even funnier is this morning after I had left the campground I turned my phone on and had a voicemail from Stacy who had seen my last post and wanted to let me know her aunt and uncle were at that campground and I that should stop and say hi. I was already down the road though so it probably would not have happened. Guess we were supposed to meet though. Just wanted to share what a cool thing had happened with you all, I think so anyway, but I need to go now. Take care, Jim
