GOOD MORNING!

Yes, I remember all of the little towns all along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
There was a restaurant in Menomonee, MI that my family used to stop at each time we traveled "up north".
There was a museum made from an old ship that had been recovered from the great lakes.

So many memories...

My parents have since sold the cabin, but I still have many fond memories of the U.P.
I especially enjoyed the Lake Superior shoreline. My favorite place to go to was Au Sable and play on the dunes along the shoreline.
So many wonderful places to see...

OK, I better quit now - I've chased everyone off with my sentimental nostalgia!!

I am going to sign off for now, as my beloved Packers are playing tonight on Monday Night Football. We are playing "Da Bears" at Soldier field.
Big rivalry in this part of the state, you know!

So far, so good! Packers 7, Bears zero! Go Pack!!

And the mushrooms are great there too!

Good morning;

That image sure does wake up a person.



There's been 5 of us (Billie, Lexie, Mrs. M, WarriorNun and me) that have left images since Saturday. I'm the only guy. Is that because the other guys are too serious, or is it because I'm not serious enough? Maybe they are too shy?

Lol, could be, Rick. That is so cute!!

Good morning / evening everyone!

Great animation, Mrs M!
I was afraid though,that I was going to have a seizure if I watched it too long!

Some of those animations really move fast!

Rick I just LOVED your Felix pondering - so cool

Good morning Billie

Mrs M, I really enjoyed reminiscing about the U.P. with you last night.

Brought back a lot of fond memories.

Here is my U.P. guy...

I like that.

What's "U.P."?

Rick, look, I found the other men...they ARE shy!

Rick, the U.P. stands for the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. It resides just above Wisconsin with Lake Superior bordering it.

It is a heavily forested, not too developed wilderness area. Both Mrs M and I have spent a lot of time there and have very fond memories of the U.P.

A lot of lumberjacks lived there due to its large lumber industry back in the early 1900's through the 30's.
