Back home and back to blogging. I was granted a little vacation over the weekend. I returned to the land of my youth. I haven't been "home" for about twelve years. It was so fun and a bit surreal to be back. Thanks to my dear friend Dina and her family for taking such good care of me and my brothers while we were there!
Here are a few assorted observations and thoughts from my trip to "Mo-Town":
*The tree in front of my childhood home is HUGE!
*Wing Yees is no longer known by the same name or in the same location.
*Wonton soup was yummy! Egg rolls aren't quite as good as they used to be.
*Church is church is church. There are good people there. I was taught well.
*Brother Christensen is still leading the music--some things never change.
*Michigan has been hit HARD by this rotten economy. Very sad.
*Doc Smith is still going strong. He is so fun to sing with!
*I love hanging out with my brothers!
*I really miss my family when I am away.
*Michigan cider and donuts are still as good as I remembered-YUM!
*Michigan is cold--I'd forgotten.
*Charlie squirrel is still alive and well!
*It turns out that Michiganders really do have an accent. I never really believed it as a kid.
*I was/am blessed to have such great family, friends, and teachers in my life!

Glad you had fun and returned home safely!
Those trees really do grow (quickly?) I went back this summer to my home at 12-13 years old and didn't recognize the street because of the huge trees. Glad you had a good time, we missed you.
