Houghton Lake, MI

Hey, we forgot to tell you about our trip to Houghton Lake, MI. We spend a weekend at a lake house just before we left for Missouri. They had lots of snow and Saturday morning it was -6 degrees when we went out to breakfast. We have pictures!

Fortunately Rita did not let the dog did not eat us!

Bowling Green, MO

Sorry we haven't posted sooner but Rita has been working long hours and didn't even let us out of our cosy little case until today. All the ice and snow missed us here in Bowling Green, Mo about an hour from St. Louis.

Rita has a huge room with fridge, microwave and even a dvd player.

We'll post some pictures soon.

Stay warm!

Bakery has new owners

Paul's Bakery in downtown Marine City has new owners. Stop by and welcome them to town. Check out all the great goodies and their extended hours of operation. Also please thank them for not serving gingerbread!

Cold in Michigan

We got back to Michigan Monday night after spending all day in airports or on planes. We arrived in Kansas City airport in plenty of time for our 9:50 (central time) flight to Chicago with a 1pm flight on to Detroit. We finally got on the plane about noon (mechanical troubles). We sat at the gate for an hour until they decided they didn't know or could not fix the plane - even after taking parts off the disabled plane next to us!!). Finally we got a flight to Dallas! at 3:10 and then a connecting flight to Detroit at 7:15 (that one was late leaving!). After finding that our luggage was somewhere else they promised that it would be delivered the next day to Rita's house. We got picked up by Seaway Shuttle and arrived home just after 1am (eastern time).

It's been snowing here and more snow today. The record low for last night was -8!!! It's about 1 degree now.

Happy New Year from Missouri

We got back from Wisconsin on the 2nd of January and then left for Missouri on the 4th. Rita didn't even take us out of our traveling case!!

We're in Richmond, MO near Kansas City and not far from Kearney, MO were we where about 2 weeks ago.

It's cold but sunny here.
