OK, the weather is really starting to mess with me now. We had a beautiful autumn day today. It was something out of a good novel, the leaves were gorgeous and had littered the sidewalks, which led to a pleasant crunchy texture for our walk. The sun was shining, the sky a bright blue with nary a cloud in the sky. The only problem, the 85 degree heat with heavy humidity. I'm all for an Indian summer but number one, it needs to be cold for a while before we get it and two, I don't need it to get above the low 70's.
But that is as close to a complaint as I am going to go today. Alas, the cold and evil, fluffy white, devil precipitation is just around the corner. I will enjoy the warmth while it lasts.
So, despite the heat we got out and enjoyed the sunshine today. We had a nice little picnic at Collins Park in E. Grand Rapids and walked around Gaslight Village. It's always nice to walk around that area of town, where I can feel the disapproving glares that fall on my Walmart wardrobe from within the windows of passing Jaguars and Beamers. Plus, how often to you get to lunch next to the Yacht Club!?!
Yet the foray into "The Land of Houses I Will Never Afford" was well worth it for one reason, Jersey Junction.
We used to bike to Gaslight Village when I was a kid. I have many a fond memory of Hudsonville Ice Cream consumed on the Junction porch.
Of course, Jenny found something else besides ice cream:
I love that my wife still loves little kid's candy. She definitely keeps me feeling young.

Ha ha! I, too, enjoy the Haters of the "upper" class. I think it galls them that we "lower" folk can live and be happy without having to spend ridiculous amounts of money in the process. Yummy-looking candy, too! All the best ~ Paul's (Crazy Liberal Kook) friend Amie :)
