What I did on my summer “vacation”…

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

Where did it go? Summer I mean. We had a great summer… the weather was phenomenal, the guests were happy and we were able to get out and about in Door County.

With a colder and rainier than usual Spring we were happy to get the warm weather in July and August. We didn’t have a lot of the extremely hot weather which was nice. Weather, blah, blah, blah. Let’s get to the good stuff.

Well… it didn’t start out great. I tore a tendon and after surgery and a cast for two months etc., I am back walking 5 miles… thanks Dr. Hecker and Ministry Door County Medical Center!

We visited some hangouts including John Henry’s…

We went to weddings…

Goodbye summer… hello autumn! Stay tuned… there are tons of things to do in Door County in the fall!

Memorial Weekend…

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

Door County Cherry Blossoms

The weather is looking good for Memorial Day weekend here in Door County. Everything is green and growing and all the restaurants and boutiques are open for business . Jacksonport is hosting their annual Maifest Parade and art fair over the weekend. The American Legion Baseball team that Mark coaches is having a brat fry on Saturday at noon in Harbor View Park in downtown Egg Harbor. Brats, yum.

Egg Harbor Baseball… Champions!

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Our beloved Egg Harbor Indians have clinched the title for the first time in 22 years this past Sunday. Mark coached the 1987 team to victory while Mark Stoeger who has been coaching the Egg Harbor team the last few years was the bat boy that year. Mark’s Dad coached and played, Mark coached and played for Egg Harbor as did his brother Bert, our oldest Josh and our youngest Joe who still plays. Mark’s dad Bob Sawyer was inducted into the Door County League Baseball Hall of Fame ( yes, there is even a Hall of Fame!) last year. For years, Door County baseball was the activity of choice each Sunday afternoon for many locals and we still try to get to games as often as possible. We were there Sunday for the celebration which coincided with “Fan Appreciation Day”. Mark roasted a pig and there was a potluck for all the players and fans afterward. I snapped this photo of the team after the game…

Egg Harbor Indians...2009 Champs!

Joe’s Nor-Door American- Legion Baseball team (Mark coaches the team) also went to the State tournament last weekend… sadly they lost one game before the championship game. Here is our family after the Regional game which was held at our home field in Institute.

Josh, Carissa, Adison, Nellie, Jaden with me, Joe, Em and Mark

Summertime not only means keeping Egg Harbor Lodge running smoothly, it also means tons of baseball.
