Rescued



I'll tell you - there's nothing like combining the power of the internet with a small town.  Within 10 minutes of posting my plea on Facebook, I was on my snowmobile heading out to pick up a little carpet cleaner. Then, while my son feverishly worked to clean up the mess he accidentally created, I was getting text messages of support from friends down state. 

This experience has, once again, reinforced why Mackinac Island is the best place in the world to live.  Hopefully the take away from this whole thing for my son is - when his dad says he needs help completing a job, it means he needs help.  He doesn't want my son to do the job for him. Especially when the job involves a container full of  disgustingly fowl black water that smells like death, and tan carpet...

Here Comes the Sun


Wishing you and yours a wonderful Winter Solstice.  May your heart be filled with sunshine today and every day...

Beware!


This lovely little tradition has just legitimized all those times my kids got clothes for Christmas. I was just looking out for them...

Also, I think they will get new underwear for Christmas this year. New undies with giant, smiling cat faces on the butt. (Thank you Allen.) I wouldn't want them to get eaten, especially now that they've been to Iceland and could legitimately be on the Yule Cat's radar.

I think my friend Kelaine might need a pair, too...
