Michigan Magnifique!!!

So, Saturday morning (today is Monday) we picked up a spanking new Chrysler, with only 21 miles logged on it's odometer, purchased Serius Satellite Radio services for our whole week, and easily, painlessly sped our way to Willis, Michigan, right outside Ann Arbor, where Peter's parents have the most wonderful comfortable house!The house was aglow and alive withs meels of freshly cooked yummy soup and Peter's dad Charles was fixing a gorgrous cinnamon cake to have after dinner with our tea..the whole place was alive with welcome...after a meal of that warm terrifc soup, a cold beer and some hot tea, we were both so ready for bed and sleep, we simply fell donw into the quiet comfortable bed and slept!!! Wonderful day of travel, with nary a moment of boredom or dismay...as predicted, the dogs slept soundly the whole way and dutifully got out to pee whenever we stopped for gas or coffee...a perfect road trip.Ending sweetly.

Yesterday , Sunday, Pat and Charles spent the entire morning serving breakfast to their ladies at Emmanuel House, as they do regularly, and then went to church, while Peter adn I got up after a refreshing nights sleep and cleaned the kitchen from the night before, made fresh coffee, and oounged and talked and talked and talked. Then we talked some more. A quiet house all to ourselves, and we were so together. SO nice. In preparation for Carol J's coming to dinner,there was yet more cooking of the most wonderful stuff...a pork loin marinated in a sort of spiced "rub" that made the roast so moist and tender...more to write about...soon...xxev

Ev,
That sounds like something straight from a Norman Rockwell painting. Awesome! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope that you enjoy NY during the holidays!

XOXO Brian
