We&#8217;ll head to White Lake, Michigan, to share a few days with this awesome a bunch of really nice folks.<\/p>\n<p>When we return from that fun time, we&#8217;ll have dinner on the 8th with John&#8217;s family and then pack up and head to our huge dulcimer festival, the ODPC Funfest at Evart, MI, on July 9th. We will work hard (I&#8217;m in charge of workshops and John is my right hand guy) and by the end be totally exausted. The actual festival doesn&#8217;t start until the 18th.  On Sunday, July 21st, we&#8217;ll return home.<\/p>\n<p>So this next month will be fun!  We will totally enjoy ourselves. <\/p>\n<p>After we return, the summer will be half gone. We may slip up to the U.P. for a week (or less) in August. September will be harvest time for John&#8217;s wine crop.<\/p>\n<p><script LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">\n<!--\n\/\/ Copyright (c) 1997 Mecklermedia Corporation.\n\/\/ http:\/\/www.webreference.com\/js\/\n\/\/ License is granted if and only if this entire\n \/\/ copyright notice is included.
