Well, it sure has been a while. I was just reading my past blogs and was wondering why I haven't posted in over a year. I guess our interests change and evolve. 
  We are doing just fine as far as life goes. We are at our place up north and are enjoying our retirement to absolute fullest. We spend most of the summer traveling around northwest lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. We are only an hour from The Mackinac Bridge to the north and Traverse City to the south. So many places to explore and we certainly do our best to hit them all!
  When we aren't doing the little day trips we have lots of other  things to keep us busy. I bought a beautiful Viking Sewing machine that also embroiders, so I have been playing with that. It isn't nearly as complicated as the CNC Machinery I used to program at work, but it takes a little finagling to get things just the way I want them. It's a fun distraction from everyday living. :) 
  Well, I guess I should go do something. I have stalled long enough.
Hugs to all from The Barn....
