I already broke my previous post's goal regarding blogging once a week ::sigh:: But one goal I have not broken is focusing on the positive and my successes.
So here are a few to name:
1. Bucket List item: visited the Traverse City/Omena area of Lake Michigan. 1 word: Stunning! Of course the wineries around every turn, a wedding full of love, and bunking in a huge lake side cabin with great people were wonderful, but the scenery in itself is well worth the visit. (I will add that due to the limited vacation season northern Michigan has to offer, prices can be higher than the usual tourist destinations we frequent). The Cherry Capital Airport was charming and we highly recommend transportation through Cherry Capital Cab. One memory I could not capture well enough to give justice to is the night time sky. You just have to go see it. I truly felt that each night I was closer to heaven.
2. To Do: Build a Patio: What started as 1 day project turned into 3 thanks to some extremely difficult concrete located on the second half of the porch. The theory is that this area is exposed to more water/rainfall that the back portion and in turn, makes the concrete more brittle. Our problem: the exploding tip nails were doing just that, exploding and breaking the concrete instead of driving into it. None the less, we eventually got them in through careful planning and with the assistance of our awesome neighbor
There have been many other exciting trips and crafts this summer. Keep a look out for more to come!
