Home Sweet Home....Michigan

When we crossed the state line from Ohio, the new sign Welcome to Pure Michigan was embraced with mix emotions. Glad to have all that driving done with for a while, but also over whelmed with settling down and organizing our lives. Our cabin has boxes and furniture every where....I know we have this or that, but can't seem to find it. So where to start.
Like most things that Andy and I do, we just do it!
Spent 12 hours shopping for new appliances, six gallons of paint, floor tile for both the bath and kitchen, new kitchen counters and Satellite TV. The next day, kitchen floor has been put down and appliances delivered and old ones hauled away. Unfortunately, no satellite TV. It seems we live in a forest (actually, the Huron Nat'l Forest) and the trees are too tall, and too many, for us to receive any of the satellite signals! You would think in this day and age, this would not be a problem and signals should be obtained from any where!! Can you imagine, no TV for the next 5 months? Not even local stations. No Red Box within 30 miles. Now, if I find out that Netflix won't deliver, we may be back on the road.
But closets are cleaned out. Old memories and pictures filed away for future generations to enjoy. All the cob webs removed. RV emptied. One truck load to the dump, one to the local church. And some of our things put away...like our tooth brushes.
Of course, we do have all summer. Although, it may take longer then that!
