we’re outta here. . .

Last Thursday evening we headed north.

We, as in. . . just Mr. E and me!

I was giddy with excitement.

It didn’t even matter that the temperature had plummeted and

the winds began to gust as the rain continued to fall.

Nope. . . didn’t matter a bit.  We were outta here!

The U.P. of Michigan was our destination.

To a little cabin in the woods we found on the internet.

We were very pleased. . .beyond our expectations.

Here are some words which describe our time away. . .

quiet,

relaxing,

hot tub,

fishing,

quiet,

true Finnish sauna (pronounced sow-na),

tranquil scenery,

napping,

did I mention. . .quiet?,

antiques,

togetherness,

Lake Superior waves,

delicious Italian food,

Eddy’s ice cream,

steaks on the BBQ,

walk in the woods,

reading,

coffee on the porch,

antique shops,

history museum,

nostalgic cabin,

and finally yes, I must say it once more. . .

quiet.

The type of get-away we really needed during this busy (and noisy) season of life.

It was wonderful. 

A big thank-you to our praiseworthy parents and amazing Lindsey

who took shifts and cared for our six “chickens”!

Now we’re back to the real world. . .

Happy Monday!face

    On Saturday I had the pleasure of sitting next to your family while your son played my daughter in a soccer game. It was fun to watch Miss A go through the food bag.....hee hee!
