Great Lakes, Great Times
July 19, 2005
We arrived in Michigan in record time. We’re staying at the Hampton Inn, which is a wonderful place to stay. We ate dinner at a local diner called “Clementines” which was at one point a bank but it was converted into a restaurant. Mother and father had omelets with crab meat, shrimp, mushrooms and cheese. The smell from the omelets was amazing. I had a “Clementine Club”, which was roast turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato on fresh wheat bread. I could only eat half of the incredible sandwich as well as the fries. For dessert, I had a scrumptious apple dumpling, a la mode. It was hot, fresh and fantastic. My parents adored it too. Before we came back to our room #311 (11 is one of my lucky numbers), we saw a mother with a curly haired boy in the elevator. His hair was platinum, which is very rare. Since we had been seeing lots of biracial kids wherever we went, father said—Maybe he’s biracial and she decided to dye his hair. I thought the comment was funny (even though maybe a little racist). It even warranted a chuckle from my mother. Then father told me once more—Don’t marry a black man and have kids. I rolled my eyes and responded as I usually do—Love is love. Biracial children have a harder time than most of other children growing up but with plenty of love, support and good role models, they can grow up to be excellent citizens. I finished Chapter Sixteen of “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince”. It’s becoming very intriguing. Already I know Tom Riddle eventually became Voldemort but I’m not certain who the Half-Blood Prince is (although I already know it’s not Harry). I’m excited to see what happens next. Tomorrow, we are going to South Haven, which is not too far away from where we are lodging. I’m excited to see the big red Lighthouse again. I was hoping we could also visit Holland and Luddington. Even if we don’t, I absolutely adore this part of America. It’s gorgeous !

Today, mother father and I visited the Harbor in South Haven. The breeze was very calming and cool, and the sands were warm and soft in my sandals. Once we had enjoyed the lovely breeze and watching the boats come in and out of the marina (there were seagulls and swallows everywhere) we visited a Celtic store called “Biddy Murphy’s”. An actual Irishman named Ward, who was extremely kind and welcoming, owned it. We bought moonstone earrings with Celtic Knots, an ornament, a map (w/ Irish history) for Phyllis, a bar of Heather soap for Audine, a Welsh dragon ring for Father and a few other trinkets. Afterwards, we ate a restaurant called “Bezzle”. One of the waitresses that worked there had been at Clementine’s the night before and she remembered seeing us there. Mother and I wandered around some stores and I was able to get a couple light houses and a shirt (as well as a magnet). The people that live here are very hospitable, congenial and kind. They have wonderful senses of humor ! Later on today, after supper (we’ll be eating at a restaurant called “The Fish Tale” or an Italian Restaurant on the Black River), father will get some gas from Wal-Mart as well as more film for myself. Since there is a pool here, I plan on going for a swim after dinner. By tomorrow, we’ll be living Hampton Inn by 11:00 Michigan time. Not certain when we will be arriving home but it will be wonderful to see how Lisa and Peanut (although they might be a little upset at the time when they see us) again as well as our neighbors and friends. Lord knows I’m going to have thousands of emails to sort through and most of them will be SPAM.
We ate at “The Fish Tale”, which I believe had exceptional food. I had the best fish and chips I have had anywhere else. My parents didn’t care for what they ate and our waitress was a bit overworked. She seemed a bit surly. Albeit the restaurant was loud and there were some unruly children yelling and acting up, it was a great place to eat. Clementine’s was still the best place to eat though as well as Bezzles. I also went swimming and read more of Harry Potter (Snape is the Half-Blood Prince, but there are still questions unanswered) and I’m almost finished with it. Our final stop of the day after getting film at Wal-Mart (as well as gas), we got ice cream at Sherman’s Ice Cream Parlor. Mother had a cherry soda, Father had caramel pecan ice cream and I had peppermint patty. I wasn’t aware of how generous their portions were but nevertheless the ice cream was sensational. It was uber creamy, very thick, cold and creamy. It was almost like a mint brownie. I couldn’t eat it all but father was more than happy eating it. Though we didn’t travel to Holland or Luddington, we really didn’t have to. It was nice enough just visiting South Haven again.
PS: After writing this journal entry, I now know Dumbledore is killed by Snape (I feel BETRAYED, I thought he wasn’t all bad. Maybe he has a speck of goodness left within him. I hope he can redeem himself), so you know what this means ? Fanfiction.
My latest HP fanfiction will be called “The Rose that Never Fades”. You can guess who the “Rose” is.
