Mackinac

If, IF I had a kid I think I might name them Mackinac, lol. I love Mackinac Island and the Straits area so much and Mackinac McGlinchey has a nice ring to it. I wonder if a kid could handle it?

It has been almost 3 weeks since we came back from Mackinac. I think it was there that I picked up this nasty cold–my neck was hurting for a full week after coming back. I thought it was all the exercise we had done but It must have been my glands because then I was sick. Oh well, I still love Mackinac Island and can’t wait to go back.

I toyed with the idea of going up there this upcoming Friday and Saturday– they are giving tours of the Round Island Lighthouse on Saturday but my husband and I will be going up that way again the first week in August for our week-long tour of the U.P. so we kind of need to save our money. Can’t wait, even though we won’t be going to the Island (I am hoping to go back to Mackinac in the fall)…we will be starting out at Tahquamenon Falls and working our way west to the Porcupine Mountains. It is going to be quite the adventure!

But as ever, I sit here Mackinac dreaming…

Peace and Solitude

It has been almost 2 weeks since I have had the boys–2 weeks without children! YAY! I am getting so relaxed and almost back to my old self except for this damn nasty cold I got. Of course the boys will probably be back soon. Now I see why I didn’t have children…I probably wasn’t meant to have them because I do love my solitude.

I did wake up to the sound of someone’s bare feet sliding across my floors though–just like the boys when they wake up in the morning. My brother stayed the night because he had work closer this way than the Detroit area. I don’t know why he doesn’t stay at his own house but I was happy to have him without the kids, ha!
