This time the weather was definitely of the "fall is approaching" variety, cool and drizzly. Which I actually loved as the crowds were thinner. Also compared to when we had last visited on a very hot day in July, the animals … [Read more...]

When I first started working there Frida was a footnote in my mental map, someone I'd read about briefly while doing … [Read more...]

Why Aren’t We Visiting Michigan More Often?
Michigan. It's right there over the river. I mean I gaze across the river and look at Belle Isle, or Detroit at least once a week. Yet I don't travel across the border that often. Once upon a time, it was different. We used to go to the states with my husband's parents All Of The Time. They would hop over to the states to go shopping every second Saturday, like clockwork, and … [Read more...]
