Chris and I had the opportunity to go "Up North," which for you non-Michiganders means to leave your usual dwellings and go to another part of Michigan even if its not in a northerly direction. Brent Grember invited us to his parent's cottage on Lake Barren, which is just outside of Niles, MI. A lovely retreat from Woodridge, we had an awesome time.
The weather was perfect and the company was even better. Despite being 36 weeks pregnant and definitely a sight for sore eyes in a maternity bathing suit, a.k.a boat tarp, and unable to ingest copious amounts of alcohol, I had a great time. We laughed, busted eachother's balls and blew off explosives. It really does not get any better than that.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Kasia had a sleepover babysitter. Mia lives across the street and is going to be a sophomore at Downers North High School. I trust Mia with my life-- so naturally, it made sense to propose her to watch Kasia. I didn't want the dog just moping around the house for two days.... So, Mia was at the house watching television, rubbing Kasia's ears and playing the inside/outside game.
On the way back from the lake, Chris and I pretty much made up our minds to get a new car. Newly unemployed and expecting child any time, the F-250 with a lift is no longer ideal for transporting a car seat. The truck is literally enormous and sucks in terms of being gas efficient. So, we are exploring the idea of new car. Any ideas? We like anything foreign-- since they are most highly scored on the reliability scale for used cars...... 4Runner? Sequoia? Tourag? We are open to suggestions.
