Home again after a great week in Michigan. I apologize for being away so long, but the blue lake and the sunsets were singing their siren song. We began in a panic, the dog was super stressed being in a strange house. When we pulled up, the place looked kind of grimy, like it hadn't been painted in a long while--this despite a hefty rent on our part. The first thing my son noticed was a dead mouse on the floor of the dining room.
However, we rallied. The pest control man came out the next day and we saw nary a critter from then on. The dog found his way, despite being 14 and not having a clue where he was. And the house was really nice inside--clean and cozy and comfy. And the view was spectacular.
We had one day of rain, the next day of huge, high waves which we all loved swimming in. And from then on it was sunny skies and magnificent sunsets. We stayed on the beach most nights til 7.
Can't say enough good things about vacation. Take a look:
