Dear FFF:
Made it back to Michigan! Left California and drove a little over 2,000 miles to Nashville. Took me 3-1/2 days but stopped often to stretch and pee (Dr. told me to drink a lot of water while on the road). Spent a week with Suzie and her family playing and just enjoying each other's company. Went shopping at a great flea market and found a few good buys. Sue and I also went zip lining!!! Had a ball......will definitely do that again!
I then headed up to Columbus to spend some time with Michele, Mark and Abbey (she had a few days off from Cincinnati. Was going to stay a week but got a call from the townhouses I had applied for and they had one come up, so I only stayed a few days and headed on up to Michigan last Tuesday.
It was PERFECT! It faces the woods so I will be able to sit at my picture window having my coffee every morning and watch my birds!! It is also on the side of the park that has gas appliances which also makes me happy. Mary Etta (the lady that is living there now) says she can be out in three weeks, then it only takes a week or so for the closing, so I should be in for the holidays. I am going to have the inside painted and hopefully Marc will have time to put a new ceramic floor in the vestibule and bathroom. The main part has all hardwood, which is in good shape. It is quite small (587 sq. feet) but has a basement the same size so I think it will be perfect. I am excited to get a "nest" again. I started out in Westland when Marc and Michele were little and here I am back again. It is in Holliday Park at Wayne Rd. and Joy Rd. About a mile north of Westland Shopping center, and only two miles from where Mom and Dad are at rest. I think I am going to enjoy being close to everything again.
Will get some pictures and give you address as soon as I have the closing.
Happy Halloween to everyone!!
