Pure Michigan

I keep seeing signs and t.v. commercials for "Pure Michigan"! It is this year's way of promoting the Great Lakes State. Charles and I differ on the opinion of Michigan. He hates the cold, winter months. I appreciate the fact that the bugs are not pestering me during those months. Well, we have been enjoying Pure Michigan! Drinking coffee while watching the ducks on the lake is so relaxing. Driving myself around on uncrowded streets is fantastic. Listening to the radio blaring when a great song is on just makes me happy!

It has been a lot of visiting and reconnecting with friends and family. I love to visit my Grandma. She is in the middle stages of her dementia, and she cannot always remember that I am living in another country. Well, she is quite the funny little lady. We keep our visits short, but I always leave with a smile.

We will be moving out of our temporary residence in Howell, and we will be moving in with my parents. My mom and I have been planning some activities while we are in Tennessee. I think it will be a lot of fun, and it will be a great way to finish our home visit.

I still have a lot of shopping to do and visiting also. Charles is leaving for India on Sunday.
