Every year more and more shoes where added to the old crippled willow tree. Any shoe you could think of was up there, even the really expensive ones like Jordans. The shoe tree was one of the most memorable thing from the long drives up to Boyne City Michigan.
Driving into the touristy town was always my favorite part, smelling the fudge, hearing the waves crash against the docks and seeing all the seagulls flying around. As you kept heading down the main road following it to all its curves and loops you would run into my Grandparents house. They lived in a large log cabin on a gated drive.

When we where there we got ice cream and swam, then headed back to Boyne City.
The sailing camp had a banquette at the end. It was at the state park. They had hamburgers and hot dogs with many sides available. They also provided many desserts for everyone to have. It was amazing and even better it was at the beach, so once we ate then we could go swimming with all the friends we made during the two weeks.
During the banquette Gram and his friends came up to us and shared a few things I would never have thought to hear from a ninth grader to a six grader. They said “ If I was told at the beginning of the two weeks I would hang out with a bunch of 12 year olds I wouldn’t have came. At first we just hung out with you guys because my brother told us we had too but then it turned out to be the best two weeks of our lives”. He showed us that age doesn’t matter when having fun and you can really be surprised if you give people a chance because I didn’t imagine myself hanging out with them either.
Looking back on those two weeks today and thinking if the positions where changed would I hang out with them? But because this event in my life I give people a chance before I rule them childish or

    On November 14, my husband and I drove out to Pawnee to visit the Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum. This site is considered to be a significant site because it includes Pawnee Bill’s ranch, his house, the site of his Wild West shows, and a museum over his life and career. If I was an Oklahoma History teacher in secondary school I would use this site as a field trip while talking about Pawnee Bill and his career. It would also be a good site to use while covering ranches, and how they worked.…

    The genus Salix, or Willow, consists of around 400 species of trees and shrubs which can be found in nearly every continent, save for Australia and Antarctica. The wood of willows is light and therefore easily molded, and the plants versatility has lead to it developing a variety of applications ranging from basket-weaving to fire-starting. The near ubiquity and widespread applicability of willows has lead to the plant developing symbolic meaning as well, with the plant featuring prominently in the Bible and various English superstitions. Willows have been featured in a number of works of fiction as well, with their legacy eventually culminating in pivotal roles in Shakespeare 's Hamlet and JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series.…
