As soon as we hit the heat and humidity of Missouri, my husband wanted to turn the truck and camper around and head back up to the cooler, dryer weather of Michigan. We had a great time with my sister Elizabeth (above left) whose house we stayed at. My brother Victor drove in from Wisconsin and my mom flew in from New Jersey. Only sibling absent was Sophia who stayed behind with her family in New Jersey.The above photo was taken at a belated birthday party for my mom.
I am seated to the right.
Elizabeth's whole backyard is pretty much deck and in-ground pool. It was like staying at a resort. We had no reason to leave the house!
Being that it's Michigan, the pool was heated, so the water was always warm enough for swimming!
The kids were in the pool as long as there was daylight and Dad couldn't resist joining them.When we weren't swimming, we were eating (my stomach never got a chance to grumble) and when we weren't eating or swimming, we were garage saling.
Romeo, MI (nearby) had their city wide garage sale while we were there.
A major event!
We shopped two different days and found all kinds of treasures.
Many will be slowly showing up in my etsy shop.
A good time was had by all.

I am having trouble not being jealous. I have forgotten it is summer in other parts of the U.S. Still cloudy, cool and rainy here. But green! Nice and green. I have a good friend in Michigan. Someday I hope to visit there again.
