Hey guys!

Just wanted to let you know I'll be gone again for a few days. I'm goin on a roadtrip to the U. P. with my baby brother to spend some quality brother/sister time and have fun with his kids.

        Thanks Thom!

        Funny you should mention that. As I was watching the last little clump of snow melt which took about an hour, something truly amazing happened!

        After the last little drip dissipated, I looked up and the leaves on the tips of some branches had started to turn yellow, orange and red signifying fall is just a breath away. :p

          Once when my daughter was sad and she was looking out her bedroom window, and I walked up and looked out with her, and we watched this tree shed all of its leaves in ONE moment. I dont know how easy that is to picture, but it really was an amazing sight.

          Virtually ALL the leaves fell off of it at the same moment.

          I told her, that the tree had shed all his leaves just for her... and that it must have been waiting for her to look.

          What does that mean? I dont know, but it got her mind off her sadness....we were both amazed.

          Thanks for the memory.

            You're welcome!

            How awesome that must have been!

            What did it mean? I can't say for sure, but I'll bet it included a little touch from heaven.

    Tell him "hi back at ya". Would be fun to be back there now and see ya both. A bottle of asti and some idiocy after the kids are asleep - if they could sleep with us chattering and gaffawing in the next room. Just had a member of my website from MI come through this weekend and I took him out to the reservoir for some western style agate hunting. He had a riot. Hoping for a trip out next summer to get up to the UP myself. (Lake Superior Agates - YES).

    Have a riot - and go after some of that native copper while you are there.

      Sweet!

      When you come home next year and want some company, count me in!

      What a road trip! Although we spent one whole day on Mackinac Island, we drove and had lots of stops at the tourist attractions. The kids had a blast, but the best thing was that my baby/younger brother tuckered out sooner than I did! Haha! I still got it!!

        Yeah, I thought it was blatantly obvious. In fact, :rolleyes: should just be assumed on my posts. Unless, of course, I'm talking about dogs or the evil that is UM football. Then I'm serious.

    Jeez Dan - she just left. Giver her a few days or a week or so. You don't go to the UP for an hour. It's a vacation destination.

      Sorry, Sal. I should have put a sarcasm tag in my post.
