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...]

It was really neat. … [Read more...]
