Arrival in Indiana

Left Wisconsin on Tuesday afternoon.  Had a great visit with my friend from the 3rd grade.  We were talking and we have known each other for 45 years.  Made both of us feel really old. 

Went to Mantiwoc Wisconsin and took the ferry across Lake Michigan.  The water looked like glass.  Was brown in color when we left the dock, green a little further out in the lake but then it turned to a beautiful dark blue turquoise color.  It was a very calm crossing.  The last time that we were on the boat, it rained and we were told the horror stories of the storms that tend to ravage the crossing.  Everyone was told to come out of the staterooms, come into the main dining area and flip the tables and chairs and sit on them.  I am glad that I wasn't on that crossing.  It would have made me rethink the whole driving through Chicago traffic. 

Got to Ludington and stayed the night at a Days Inn.  Had a very restful sleep and then proceeded to travel the lakeshore down to Indiana.  I know that this part of Michigan gets the most lake effect snows during the winter and spring but it is beautiful this time of year.  The trees are all lush and green.  I really wouldn't want to be driving in the winter up there tho.  I think that it would tend to be hazardous.

Got to Indiana and came directly to my old house.  My son and his family live there.  It was the first time that I had seen my granddaughter since her great grandfather's funeral in March of 2011.  She has gotten so tall and she looks so much like my son.  She has a squeaky little voice and I love it.  My husband John would have been taken with her.  She has her daddy wrapped around her little finger.  And he is a very protective father.

Well time for me to dash and get some work done.  Michael is still motivating but ever so slowly.  We can't get back to KC soon enough for me.  Although my daughter will be graduating from college at the end of this month, if his appointment could be sooner, we would be gone.  I want him to be able to walk and not be in pain all the time.  I can only pray that we get this done in time to prevent major damage. 

Here are a few photos from my home in Wisconsin.  I missed the trees..
