Okay, I know you have been waiting to read all about the bold, dashing, adventurous stuff I've been doing. *snicker snicker* I don't want to disappoint you, so please, right this minute, lower your expectations a notch or two, or 36.
I'll start by telling you a bit about the resort where we are staying. Don't let the term "resort" mislead you down some fantasy filled path. I'm not getting spa treatments every day, and I don't have room service. But I'm not complaining one little bit.
Remember the resort in Ohio a long time ago?
This place is not buried in snow (I give thanks to God for the BEAUTIFUL weather) and it is a pretty nice place. We are here in the off season so I won't judge anybody for calling it a resort. I have a feeling that once all the Snow Birds fly up from Florida, it will be a jumpin' jivin' place. Relative to the extent to which retirees can jump and jive that is. After all, there is a miniature golf course, a shuffleboard deck, horseshoe pits, and a clubhouse. There is a mini grocery store with empty shelves and coolers where I stop in from time to time and wish for a jug of milk. Why, this place even has an indoor pool, which is currently empty and is being used as a place to store lawn mowers! In a couple of months, I'm quite sure it really will be a resort! And I'm quite sure we will probably be moved on by then. *sigh*
There is a nice lake nearby, and a golf course right next door. I'll bet that is why almost every house has a boat or a golf cart, or both, parked in the driveway.

| See all the tarps covering all the fun-making machines? |
 |
| I wonder if the people use their carts when they play miniature golf too? |
There is a pond on the property and we were fortunate to get assigned a lot right at the water's edge. One day while on my stroll I took a few pictures. Just random, pointless, or maybe not so pointless, pictures.
 |
| I was almost mesmerized by the leaves in the pond. |
 |
| Under water and undisturbed, peacefully rotting away. |
 |
| Some float. Some sink. Neither by their own choice. |
 |
| I think this would make a cool puzzle. |
 |
| There are fish in the pond, so when I get tired of beating myself at shuffleboard, I can try some catch and release. |
 |
This one looks like he wants me to take him home.
When the wind is calm the pond is like a mirror. |
 |
| Which way's up? (Another one with cool puzzle potential.) |
And one day it snowed like crazy, for about ten minutes.
 |
| One last look at those amazing leaves. (I would have put this picture up with the rest of them, but I got tired of trying to arrange them all just so. I never can seem to get the photos to stay where I want them. Sorry.) |
So there you have it, my first two weeks in Michigan. I don't know if you can tell or not, but my stress level continues to drop a little each day. I've almost stopped grinding my teeth!
Now my poor hubby is the one with stress. His job is not easy, and I so admire him for what he does. He really is one of my biggest and most heroic heroes!
I really must rush off now, to another adventure: a trip to the grocery store!
