Our trip to Michigan

Early Friday morning, May 22, my husband and I set out for a long drive to Michigan to see families. One flat tire messed up our carefully calculated trip to miss rush hour in Montreal and Toronto. Instead we hit them both having the opportunity to practice our meditation skills as well as "if you do not have anything nice to say don't say it at all" skills. Crossing the bridge into the US we let out a sigh of relief. Although, we never eat fast food we were in search of the closest Taco Bell and Verners, something we do not have in Quebec.

It has been nothing, but action packed each and everyday. Today, I find myself in the comforts of Mom and Dad's house, relaxing with a cat on my lap, watching the birds of all colors and species and taking in the fresh air after a rain storm. Not such a bad thing.

I will not be commenting a bunch for the next week or so. Out here it is dial up, hair pulling slow, medicine taking slow, like watching paint dry slow, but I will try until my nerves are shot.

It feels like I've been disconnected from my friends....all right I'll say it...I miss you. :) Photos to come. (We are here for 3 weeks.)

I'm glad you braved the dial-up so you could post. I totally understand NOT wanting to brave it to comment though.

I hope you have a wonderful time. Say hi to your family for me!

Hope the weather cooperates for your visit! I know that, much like Wisconsin, Michigan can be a tad "iffy" this time of year...
