But for that you are four months late I guess!<br />That is really stepping back in time and you showed us lovely photos.<br />For a first-time reader your opening sentence should also have added: in the State of Michigan (USA)... Lateron it became clear but at first I had to guess!<br />Enjoy a lovely fall weekend. Here it is very warm for days, like summer but with low humidity. That's such a bliss. <br />Hugs,<br />Mariette<br /><br />PS For a European it is awfully hard to sing the songs that they have on Karaoke machines but I did sing along Nancy Sinatra's song: These Boots Are Made for Walking!Mariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-57382100515810299232014-10-10T22:59:02.002-04:002014-10-10T22:59:02.002-04:00Deborah, as I sit by the fire resting from a very ...Deborah, as I sit by the fire resting from a very long day your post brings delight to my soul. First of all, Somewhere in Time is my all time favorite movie. I just love Jane Seymour! She is a beautiful lady, and a lay indeed.<br />My husband, Stephanie and I visited Mackinac Island some years ago and so enjoyed ourselves, especially the bike ride around the island.<br />That motel sounds interesting, just lovely. My father had a jute box for years and sold it last year as he and my mother are down sizing. Memories, so many memories.<br />I agree with Karen, you and your husband need too visit that motel again so you can share with us as they progress.<br />Your flower garden looks beautiful as fall is here.<br />Sweet blessings, DebbieDebbie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661813843716269751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-83906943276810831942014-10-10T21:47:32.074-04:002014-10-10T21:47:32.074-04:00Sounds lilke you had a delightful getaway.
