Michigan! ~

I am in Michigan!

Couldn't say before since it was a surprise to my cousin, who just graduated from high school. My Mom and I just showed up at her party. Amazing that no one found out in this age of Facebook and other nosy sites.

This is the place of my birth and and many visits since moving away when I was 14.  I still consider this home, although I can't move back since I am allergic to the snow!

The summers here are gorgeous and the temperature has been just perfect this weekend. It is 53 degrees this evening and a little chilly forcing me to wear a sweatshirt!

Back home in SC, it has averaged about 97 degrees and miserable.

Tonight I went to Lake Michigan to watch the sunset. That is my favorite place on earth and wish I could stay forever. I never go to the beach without thinking of my Grandpa, who died 3 years ago. My brother and sister and I would each spend a week with my Grandparents every summer when we lived in Michigan.  We would go to the beach just about every day and walk the pier and look for money. On a good day you would find at least a dime or nickel.

Love everything about the beach and Lake Michigan. 

I will be back in the morning for one last look before heading home on Wednesday. 

This past weekend my Mom and I headed out yard 'sailing' and hit about 25 sales in 3 hours. It wasn't looking too promising that morning when It started to rain. But it slowly cleared up and off we went. Got a truck full of good junk and cant wait to get it all out and into my booths. I'll take pictures of it all once I get it unloaded. I still need to pick up an oak buffet that is at a neighbors house. 

It has been a very busy visit and tomorrow we have a full day planned as well.

GO TIGERS!
