Good Morning Janice and all who follow!
Tuesday? It's Tuesday already?? I am going to be messed up all week! We had a long weekend, and just got home last night, so in my mind it's Monday! LOL!
My husband is in the media, so we are fortunate to be able to go to a lot of events through his work. That was what this past weekend was. We went to northern Michigan to our "wine country" area. Went to several events and a full day of visiting wineries and tastings. That was fun, and interesting. Sunday we left there, and drove about 2 1/2 hours to catch a ferry to a beautiful island. Some of you may have heard of it before. It is called Mackinac Island. It is a quaint little island that doesn't allow cars. Only transportation is horse & buggies, bikes or your feet! A couple claims to fame of the island, is it is where the movie "Somewhere in Time" was filmed, and The Grand Hotel. The Grand has the "world's longest porch". It was a little cold up there, but we enjoyed the event that was going on there, and a little bit of the island.
So -- this weekend we are back up to the island! It is about a 4 hour drive to the port city and a 20 minute ferry ride. The Grand Hotel is opening up 4 new special suites and have invited my husband (with me in tow) to come stay in one of them opening weekend. Most of the island should be open by then. Let me tell you, we really don't have "time" to go do this, but when the Grand Hotel makes you an offer like that, you really can't refuse! I'm sure it will be amazing! The thing is, we will be back up there the following weekend as well! Three times in three weeks! Crazy, but the man's gotta work! Nice work if you can get it!! After those trips, things should settle down a little bit. (maybe!!!) I surely can't complain though. We are so fortunate to get to go on so many fun excursions! Especially since it is for hubby's work, most things are complimentary! We are lucky! And we enjoy every minute of it!
Today I need to work on my upstairs bathroom prepping for paint. I really need to get my mind back into "work" mode as opposed to "vacation" mode!! Maybe I can even start working on the trim at least. There is some scrubbing that needs to be done first, so we will see how I feel after that.
I will need to do a menu plan for the next couple days as well. Sunday is usually my planning day, and here it is Tuesday! (right?
) LOL! I need to get a plan in place so I can pull meat out or whatever I need, so I will do that, and then get to the work in the bath.
Hope everyone gets their to-do lists done, and has a wonderful day!!
Enjoy!
Pam
