I'M HOME AGAIN

Hi Cindy!!

Thanks!! Yes I did have some quality time with mom and family while I was home again!! All came to an end to fast though!!! mom was sad that I won't be coming home for Christmas this year...no time off and no more money for the trip again. :-(    So hopefully next year I told her.

HUGS

Hi Judy,
So glad you made it home safely.  I love Mackinaw City, and the island.  So neat to be on the island and not see any cars.  I also relate to driving in the rain.  When I went out to Michigan in May, I drove through torrential downpours most of the time I was on the Ohio Turnpike.  Coming home, I drove past so many construction zones both in Ohio and PA.

My Mom turns 85 in September.  When she turned 80, we had a big surprise birthday dinner for her on vacation with all my kids, and siblings.  Since then, both my brothers passed away.  That was the summer before I had my surgery. 

Hugs,
Trish

Hi Trish!! Yes the trip on the turnpike is usually nasty weather but lately we have been pretty lucky with good weather!!!! I remember moving here 3 years ago and OMG the weather was awful!!! Rained so hard we couldn't see to drive, there was a nasty storm and the lightning hit the rental truck wwe think because we couldn't get the lights toi turn off!!!! It was just horrible!!! And the construction...that needs another look at to see who is making those paths for the cars/trucks to use and swing around!!!! OMG!!!!!

Glad that you had the party for your mom while everyone was still around!!!!

HUGS

  It sounds like you had a great time Judy.

It sounds like you had a good time on your vacation.  You did a lot of driving to go all the way to the northern tip of the lower penninsula.

It is cooler here today  - I'm just as glad to have the temperature below 95!

Take Care

Hi Eliza!!! Yes we had a wonderful time!!! As for the driving, well my friends Phyllis and Jon also went so Jon did the driving from Frankenmuth to Mackinaw and back. So we drove only from Ohio to Saginaw and then to Frankenmuth and back again to Ohio. But it was ALOT of sitting!!! LOL Made up for that with alot of walking once we got there!!! :-)

Its cooler here also today with the threat of storms possible...last day off to enjoy so hope it doesn't do that....

HUGS

Judy, glad you made it home safe and sound and endured the Michigan drivers and road construction. I must admit that when I hit the Michigan line on a driving trip, I actually LIKE the fast pace of the freeway there....but NOT the inevidible road construction.

Mackinac is such a fun place. Years back, my daughter was in the Governor's Honor Guard there for 2 weeks during the summer with GIrl Scouts.

Hi Lynn!! OMG the traffic and then the road construction!!!! It was awful last week driving to Michigan!!!! Yeah Michigan is alot faster driving than Ohio is....lol

That had to be a great experience for your daughter to be in the Guard!!!! WOW!!

HUGS

Hey Judy!  I keep meaning to post on here and tell you that I'm glad you're back.  You were missed!  But I'm also glad you had such a good time on your vacation.  Enjoy your last day of freedom from work and all that goes with it!  How did lil Bandit fare while you were gone?  I'll bet he was glad to see his Mama!
