Another visit from the Bears




So my folks battled the recent inclement weather conditions in Michigan and stayed with us for five days. Of all the things do delay their flight ... FOG! They were airborne for almost two additional hours and almost re-routed to Milwaukee before landing in Detroit. But in all they had a relaxing time, including free visit to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. Lots of catching up, napping, and enjoying our newly discovered gas fireplace! They left in good shape and just in time, as we're heading out to Las Vegas to visit Michelle's family later this week. Ginger will be in good hands with a colleague from work ... enjoy these candid shots!

Just a bit nipply outside!!

The weather has plummeted to sub-freezing temps the past week or so, as can be visualized by our outside thermometer! Pretty crummy weather to say the least, nothing like staying warm inside. We even got our propane fireplace to work the other day, so we're pretty psyched about that.

Last night we were thoroughly entertained by the Cirque Dreams: Jungle Fantasy showing at the Fisher Theatre in downtown Detroit. My program director was kind enough to give us two free tix, I even stayed awake the whole time! We'll have to catch some more showings later this year.

All is otherwise status quo since our last posting. Last week we went to the Novi Home Improvement show and purchased a 15-foot expandable ladder (something we've needed for a while). Michelle & I remain busy at work as well. She's back in the ICU this month, while I'm covering the GI floor service. My parents will be coming for another visit later this month, so we're looking forward to that ...
