Mourning
I am in mourning. Prince is dead. I love Prince. First I was so PISSED! How could he have died? I haven’t even seen him in concert–it was on my bucket list.
The more I learn about him, the more I realize how much we have lost and it it really depressing.
Now all we are left with are videos of past performances (thankfully we have that and people have been posting them), and maybe a vault of previously unreleased music…

Afternoon Delight
LOL. Me and my husband spent the afternoon in bed. Naughty, naughty….but very nice. It is nice to be home alone and not so stressed out–not so many dumb phone calls to interrupt us. Only one stepson, ha.
My husband changed jobs so he is not a director, an assistant director, or even a co-director of an EMS agency anymore. The stress and bullshit was too horrible. Now he has what he wanted over a year ago when he first switched jobs to be a “glorified paramedic” or an assistant director of an EMS agency; now he is just a paramedic. 🙂 He has been nearly a month at his new job and I am thankful that his stress level is much lower now. So far. Not so much drama. It has taken some getting used–there are positives and negatives–but the positives far out weigh the negatives thus far. As already mentioned, the much lowered stress–that is a biggie. Plus, his income is a bit better than the last job (with many opportunities to make more money), he gets paid weekly (and gets a bonus), and better benefits. And he can move on to bigger and better things. We are starting to make some big plans for the future, God willing.
Thinking about our U.P. tour…
Someone asked a question about Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in one of the Facebook groups I belong to. It made me think about the trip my husband and I made last August. It was an awesome trip. I really want to go back, but spend more time.
The question:
Traveling from SE MI to the porcupine mountains. Looking for a way to break up the drive that will ultimately provide a one or two night stop with things for our family to enjoy. We have already experienced the Munising area. Looking for suggestions either west on 2 or NW of Munising. We will be in our travel trailer. TIA
My answer:
My husband and I took a 10 day trip (wasn’t long enough) through the UP last August. We did 2 nights in Tahquamenon State Park, we spent a night in Munising–did a couple of boat tours–then went up the Keweenaw Peninsula (on the way, looked around Marquette for an afternoon, went to Presque Isle) and spent a night at Fort Wilkins. We went up the Keweenaw one way and down another way…then finally on to a 3 night stay in the Porkies. We did the Adventure mine tour one rainy day, which wasn’t too far from Ontonagon. We finished up by going back a southerly route to Manistique (stayed at Indian Lake State Park) and hit Kitch-iti-kipi and Seul Choix Lighthouse on our final day…it was a long drive back, a long final day, but worth it. It was a great trip. There is lots to do and see in the UP!
