This picture was taken at Mackinaw City on Sat. , we rode up to Mackinaw to get some famous Mackinaw Pasties. umm, good!! They are like a meat pie with a crunchy thin crust. We have stopped their several times a year for the last 34 years. Most of the tourist shops are closed this time of year in Mackinaw. Unfortunately there were two shops open. So Nicole took advantage of it and squeezed in a little shopping. Did I mention Nicole is a serious shopper,lol.
Deb took this picture of Bill and I at one of the two shops open, not sure if they make us look better or not, ha,ha.
NEW MOVIE CLIP ADDED TODAY- Deb just finished adding another interesting clip from the Indy Toy Show. It shows my Cat 5230 front shovel model and the Cat D-2 Dozer sitting on a lowboy ,heavy haul trailer. Most of the clip shows the half scale Peterbuilt truck, lowboy and Cat Dozer . Fred is explaining to me how he built the awesome projects. He let me climb inside the cab, but we did not get that on the movie.
1. Airplane movie clip- me with Jim McFadden in the plane, trying to put Cat D-2 dozer model in plane.
2.Cat D-2 movie Clip- Me putting the blade on the D-2 at home on the dining room table.
3.Cat 24H Grader, D-2 and Cat 5230 shovel movie clip showing the three models in my garage getting ready to take them to the toy show.
4. Farm movie clip- Deb and I at the farm with my folks.
We have more movies to work on to add in the weeks to come.
We wish you all a Happy and Safe New Year,
Don, Deb, Nicole and Bill
Nicole and I goofing off.

Deb took this picture and the one below this one of Bill, Deb and I just as we were leaving to go to town.
The vacation is winding down and it has been a lot of fun.
We bought all the stuff today for our annual New Years Eve Fondue Meal. We usually have it for dinner and then Deb and Bill go out with their friends after that. We have done fondue over Christmas for over 30 years and it is still great fun.
No snow for us in the Alpine Village, this is unheard of for our area that gets 160 to 180 inches of snow every winter. Maybe something to the globel warming rumor. I’m starting to be a believer.
More Video Clips Coming- Thanks for the nice E-mails saying you really like the new video clips . I am trying to have a nice variety of Great Lake Freighters videos, Ice Breaker videos, Monster Machine videos, my jd tractor videos, snowplow videos, and model videos. We are now working on my folks and us at the farm, and one of me in a airplane with Jim McFadden buying one of my models.
We are heading out again today to have fun ,
Hope you al have a fun Sat.
Bill, Deb and me

This picture is Bill after he came out of the woods and got cleaned up and we were happy to see him, ha,ha. We have a lot of laughs with Bill too, he is a great person. Bill is so good to Nicole, we are so thankful God brought him into our lives. Did I mention he loves the woods, LOL
