Guess where this is?

At McDonald's! At the drive -thru! Can you believe it? So pretty. I think it was somewhere in Kentucky. It was very calming as we waited for our fries!

The Right Thing

Whine alert! Caution - this post is very whiny, because, well, I can. Read at your own risk.

That being said - moving sucks. We are moving for the "right reason" (i.e. a family need), but it's hard because I'm leaving my daughter, grandson, dad, stepmom, and church here. I can't even think about it for too long. I've cried alot. However, I am not completely devistated about going. I know my way back, if I need to visit. We have phone and internet to keep us close. I don't live close to my mom, but we talk all the time and that keeps us close. It's just not the same.

Starting tomorrow, I'm only going to be positive about the move. It will be good for us, it is not 200 degrees in Michigan like it is here and it is the right thing. I will be with my family (most of it anyway) and I do get to paint and decorate the new place. I look forward to starting my new job, which is part-time. And, I look forward to using some of the inspiration I'm getting from the wonderful blogs out there.

But again, I just have to say one more time - MOVING SUCKS. Now, bring it on.

This is the Bluewater Bridge, on the Canadian side. We are going to live on the other side, near Port Huron, MI. Isn't it beautiful? Don't look at the date on the picture - my camera is messed up!

Back from up North

We're baaaack! Our trip up north was fun and very productive. We took our grandbaby (5 months) with us and that was an adventure! He was very good for the whole trip. It was HOT in Michigan. Yuck. But only for a few days. We came home to 106 degree weather. Really yuck. Well, in 5 days, he-man and I came up with 2 fabulous jobs and 1 great house. Well, the house needs some work. I'm taking before and after pictures and hopefully I can get lots of inspiration from some of the great blogs out there and decorate it up nice. It's a manufactured home (formerly called trailers) but it's about 2200 square feet and very economical with utilities and payments. So, we're moving in 2 weeks. Well, gotta go - must pack! Will post pictures later.
