So Tony and I took a drive (ok 3 weeks ago) up to the Keweenaw Peninsula. ALLLLL the way to the tip. Past Copper Harbor, out to High Rock Bay. IT was gorgeous. Unbelievable and a great day for a drive! We went up to see fall colors but due to all of the warm weather, the Keweenaw Peninsula was a week or two behind on the color change. So while we did not get to see the beautiful colors, we did get to see High Rock, we say the Copper Harbor Lighthouse and the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse, we stopped at Jamdots. YUM. Best bakery ever. Expensive but worth it.
We went to see Trace Adkins down in Harris at the Island Resort Casino, swoon....yumyum that man is delicious. My boyfriend took me to go see my other boyfriend :-) That was a great weekend too.
The Lake up here has been bipolar as well. Some days dark and still, creepy almost, some days bright and reflecting the sun and just big and blue and somedays just wild and roaring. I am dying to see the November gails. I can't wait. 15-20 foot waves. yeah buddy.
I did have to drive downstate to Lansing for a conference last week. It was a 6 hour drive, but beautiful. On the way home, the colors weer amazing but when I got to the bridge and my sweetheart said 'Welcome Home' when I crossed into the U.P., it realllly felt like home. I got some amazing pictures of the sunset and a storm caught all together, orange and pink and purple, it was really awesome. Going to see if I can try to post it on here.
I never thought in a million years that I would live anywhere except Wisconsin and now I cannot imagine living anywhere else.
I got a brand new Cardhardt (bright red from Getz's thanks to my honey), got my boots, just need a hat and gloves and I will be good to go and blend right in. Oh and new snow tires (also thanks to my honey). He really wants me to be prepared this winter, maybe he is hoping that the winter won't scare me away! Nah, he takes good care of me. Just wait until he feels how cold my feet will be under the covers this winter! >:-}
Ok that is all for me, the boys are out for a bit and I am trying to get dinner done. Working crazy hard at work but got approved to get an intern at my job to help me out. I love having minions! Planning a big company Christmas Party, a huge forum in january with a ton of speakers and the UP Builders Show. www.upbuildershow.org if you are interested in coming up north when it is freezing cold and checking out some great companies!
:-) I am always reminded up here when I am home with the family or out by the lake, how happy I am and that a ton of money doesn't always make you happy. I may not be rich, but then again, I am.
- Livin off happiness in da Yoop....(doesn't count when I type it and not speak it so shush to anyone who calls me a Yooper)
