You all should try the west, Oregon coast to be exact, it's a nice 76 with a slight breeze, winters are semi-mild, hardly ever get snow, and you have to like the rain. But, my husband was told it only rained at night, by the tourist bureau. Boy, did she tell whopper.

Too far, too hot! It's been in the 90's here, with high humidity. Even being near the water hasn't helped this summer, but I just keep reminding myself, we don't generally get all this heat and humidity for such a long stretch in the summer. Usually our winters aren't too awfully bad, maybe 10-14 days of REALLY cold weather (15 degrees or below), and not too much snow all season, just in spurts. It's going to cool down soon, I'm sure!

But thanks for the offer anyway..... you can always come up to see us in the spring and fall .... it's pleasant here at those times! I'll bake you something!

You can always move the Grandangel with you! We love kids here in Michigan!

We've got hospitals and nursing homes here, Robin! And schools and daycare centers that need nurses, too. We'll find him a job!

Haha yeah, I can see that happening.

I just got back from mailing mine off. I didn't want to try to explain a Boomerang swap either. Soooo....I told her they were quilt blocks. She said if you kept them and sewed them together you would have a nice size quilt. I said I sure would!
